Invisalign® AND Clear Aligners

Made of a clear, flexible material, orthodontic aligners are comfortable, nearly invisible and removable, making them a popular choice for adults, teens and even kids who are seeking a more discreet approach to straightening their teeth. Clear aligners treat the same bite and alignment issues that traditional metal braces do, without the brackets and wires.

How Do Clear Aligners Work?

No more goop, gagging, or discomfort. Using an iTero® scanner we can take a highly accurate digital impression. Based on your individualized plan, a series of custom-made, clear aligners are made specifically for you. The aligners are made of BPA-free clear plastic and fit easily over your teeth. A series of custom-made aligner trays is used to gradually shift your teeth into place. Each tray is designed to move just one tooth or one section of teeth at a time. Once the tray’s work is complete (typically every two weeks), we move on to the next.

Caring for Clear Aligners

Aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours per day. They should only be removed for cleaning, eating and drinking. To clean your aligners, simply brush and rinse them each time you brush your teeth.  We recommend EverSmile Aligner & Retainer Cleaner!
