What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent trays designed to gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment.

Made of smooth, durable plastic
Nearly invisible when worn
Custom-fit for comfort
Removable for flexibility

Unlike traditional braces, aligners do not use brackets or wires, making them a more comfortable and aesthetic option. Clear aligners near you are discreet, removable, and designed for comfort.

Discreet Appearance

Almost invisible when worn

Take them out for eating, brushing, or special events

Comfortable Fit

No sharp metal wires or brackets

No Food Restrictions

These features make aligners especially popular among adults and teens.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Clear aligners are ideal for patients who:

Have mild to moderate alignment issues
Want a discreet orthodontic option
Have fully developed teeth and jaw
Are committed to wearing aligners consistently

May Not Be Suitable For:

ClearCorrect treatment uses a series of aligners that gradually shift your teeth into position.

Young children with developing teeth
Severe bite issues or complex orthodontic problems
Patients unable to follow wear-time guidelines

Clear aligners are best for patients who can commit to consistent wear.

How Clear Aligners Work

Clear aligners gradually move teeth through a series of trays:

Consultation & Impressions

Digital scans or impressions of your teeth

Custom Treatment Plan

Aligners designed based on your smile goals

Progressive Alignment

New aligners worn every 1–2 weeks

Regular Checkups

Office visits every few weeks to monitor progress

Each set of aligners moves your teeth slightly closer to the desired position.

Consistency Is Key

To achieve the best results, patients must wear aligners:

20–22 hours per day

Only remove for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing

Failing to wear aligners consistently can delay treatment and affect results. Removing aligners too often can reduce treatment effectiveness.

What to Expect During Treatment

Proper care ensures the best results and keeps your aligners clean:

Initial aligners ready within a few weeks
Switch aligners every 1–2 weeks
Follow a personalized treatment schedule
Periodic dental visits for monitoring

Patients can change aligners at home, making the process convenient and flexible.

Treatment Timeline

Average treatment time: 12 to 18 months
Mild cases: shorter duration
Complex cases: longer treatment

After Treatment: Maintaining Your Results

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play sports while wearing my aligners?

Dental providers recommend removing your aligners during physical activity. If you are hit in the face while wearing your aligners, you might suffer a mouth injury. Our team can provide more advice about preventing sports-related dental injuries.

Can I eat or drink while wearing my aligners?

It is safe to sip room-temperature water while wearing clear aligners. Avoid hot or cold beverages when your aligners are in place. Extreme temperatures can warp or damage the material. Always make sure to take your aligners out before eating.

Are clear aligners painful to use?

Most orthodontic treatments involve a certain amount of discomfort. As your teeth shift into their new position, your mouth may feel sore. These side effects generally appear after inserting a new set of aligners. Any soreness or discomfort usually disappears after 24 hours.

Can you see clear aligners when they're in place?

Aligners are designed to be discreet. Unless you are looking closely, it is difficult to tell whether someone is wearing clear aligners. For added discretion, aligners can be removed during photos and special events.

How much do clear aligners cost?

Costs may vary depending on insurance plans and treatment duration. Your insurance provider can offer specific information about costs and coverage. Our office team can also help you compare treatment options to find one that meets your needs.
