Clear aligners are custom-made, clear, plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth. You'll receive a series of aligners, each one slightly different from the last. As you switch to a new set every one to two weeks, the aligners apply gentle, continuous pressure to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position.

Clear aligners offer several advantages over traditional braces. They are nearly invisible, making them a discreet option for straightening your smile. They are also removable, which means you can eat and drink whatever you like and maintain your regular brushing and flossing routine. This makes it easier to keep your teeth and gums healthy throughout your treatment.

The treatment duration varies for each patient, depending on the complexity of your case. Minor adjustments can take as little as a few months, while more comprehensive treatments may take a year or more. We will provide you with a personalized timeline during your initial consultation after a thorough examination.

Most patients report that clear aligners are much more comfortable than traditional braces because they have no sharp wires or brackets to cause irritation. You may feel some mild pressure or soreness for a day or two after switching to a new set of aligners, which is a sign that your teeth are moving as planned.

The cost of clear aligner treatment depends on the complexity and length of your case. We understand that this is a significant investment in your smile and oral health. Many dental insurance plans offer some coverage for orthodontic treatments, including clear aligners. We also accept CareCredit and other financing options to help you manage the cost.
