Clear Aligners

Clear Aligners: The Discreet Path to a Straighter Smile

Straightening your teeth no longer requires a mouth full of metal brackets and wires. Clear aligners offer a modern, nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces, using a series of custom-made, removable plastic trays to gently shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Whether you are looking to correct crowding, close gaps, or fix bite issues, clear aligners allow you to achieve a perfectly aligned smile without compromising your professional appearance or lifestyle.

The Core Benefits of Clear Aligners

Virtually Invisible Aesthetics

The transparent medical-grade plastic is almost undetectable, allowing you to straighten your teeth with complete confidence.

No Dietary Restrictions

Simply pop out your aligners to enjoy all your favorite foods—including popcorn, nuts, and apples—without worrying about broken brackets.

Removable for Easy Hygiene

Unlike braces, you can remove your aligners to brush and floss normally, significantly reducing the risk of decay and gum disease during treatment.

Enhanced Comfort

The smooth, custom-molded plastic eliminates the mouth sores and irritation often caused by sharp metal wires.
Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

How many hours a day do I need to wear them?
For the best results, you should wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink (anything other than water), brush, and floss.
How long does the treatment take?
While every case is unique, the average treatment time is between 6 to 18 months—often faster than traditional braces for minor to moderate alignment issues.
Will wearing aligners affect my speech?
Most patients experience a very slight lisp for the first day or two as their tongue adjusts to the trays, but this disappears quickly.
Are aligners painful?
You may feel some "pressure" for the first day or two of a new tray set, which is a good sign that your teeth are moving, but it is far more comfortable than having braces tightened.
Do I need to wear a retainer afterward?
Yes. To prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions, a retainer is essential. We offer several comfortable retainer options to protect your new smile.
