What are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are made by using 3D imaging to perfectly mold the aligners for your teeth. Clear aligners are a series of trays that shift the teeth gradually into the perfect position. These are perfect for anyone and everyone who wants the effect of traditional braces but doesn’t want the look of them. These aligners offer a clear and discreet look and have become more and more popular for this very reason.
Since the aligners are removable, they are great for removing them when you need to eat and clean them. Treatment usually goes from 6-18 months depending on each case and they are able to treat a wide variety of dental issues, from smaller cosmetic to bigger problems with your bite.

For the best results, we recommend you wear them for about 20-22 hours per day. Only remove them for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. This will help keep your aligners clean and last throughout each step of treatment.
Aligners should be kept clean throughout the day. Make sure to clean them using a toothbrush and water. Try not to use hot water as it can bend the plastic. Also, make sure you are brushing and flossing every day to keep good oral hygiene.
Experiencing some discomfort is normal throughout the process of wearing the aligners, your teeth will be adjusting and shifting due to the pressure from the aligners. If you do experience discomfort, it should be mild and temporary.
The cost of aligners depends on the insurance plan and the length of treatment. Our insurance team will help you understand insurance benefits as best as we can.
After treatment is complete, you will be provided with retainers to maintain the new position of your teeth. The orthodontist will go over specifics and care instructions at the end of your treatment.
We recommend removing the aligners every time you eat or drink anything other than water. This will help with oral hygiene and prevent plaque and food particles from building up between your teeth.
