The Clear Aligner Therapy Treatment Process
Consultation
During your initial consultation, we'll determine if clear aligner therapy is right for you. We'll assess your oral health, looking for any signs of gaps or crowding, and ensure your gums are healthy enough for treatment. Together, we'll discuss your smile goals and craft a treatment plan that fits your needs and lifestyle.
Impressions or Digital Imaging
Next, we'll take precise impressions of your teeth and bite, either using state-of-the-art digital imaging technology or traditional molds. Once the impressions are complete, they'll be carefully reviewed for accuracy. Any necessary adjustments will be made before sending them to our trusted dental lab, where skilled technicians will create your first few sets of aligners designed to fit perfectly and gently move your teeth into the desired position.
Fitting & Next Steps
When your clear aligners arrive, you’ll come back to our office so we can ensure they fit correctly and make any needed adjustments. We’ll give you detailed guidance on how to wear and care for your aligners. Typically, each set is worn for about 2 weeks, for 20-22 hours each day. You'll visit us approximately every 6 weeks to receive your next sets of aligners and allow us to monitor your progress, ensuring your smile transformation is on track.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do clear aligners work?
%402x%20(2).svg){kind=icon}
Clear aligners work by using a series of custom-made trays that gradually move your teeth towards their ideal position. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks, gently adjusting your teeth little by little. The duration of the treatment varies, typically ranging from several months to two years, with most patients completing their treatment in about a year, depending on the complexity of their alignment issues.
Are clear aligners safe?
Absolutely! Clear aligners are crafted from BPA-free, medical-grade plastic that is both safe and comfortable for ongoing use. This material ensures your health and comfort throughout the treatment process.
Are clear aligners faster than traditional braces?
Clear aligner therapy often leads to quicker results compared to traditional braces. Unlike braces, which adjust each tooth individually, clear aligners work on all your teeth simultaneously, which can speed up the process. However, the exact duration depends on your specific dental needs. Following your dentist’s instructions on how to wear your aligners correctly is crucial for achieving the best results in the shortest possible time.
What is the difference between clear alignment therapy and traditional braces?
Clear aligners and traditional braces offer distinct methods for correcting your smile. Clear aligners use nearly invisible plastic trays to shift your teeth gently and discreetly. On the other hand, traditional braces consist of metal or ceramic brackets attached to each tooth, linked by wires. Clear aligners are not only more discreet but also tend to be more comfortable, and they can be removed for eating, taking photos, and other activities. However, for more complex dental issues, such as severe misalignment or jaw positioning, traditional braces might be more effective.
How much do clear aligners cost?
The cost of clear aligners can vary based on several factors, including the specific brand of aligners and your insurance coverage. To get a personalized estimate for your clear aligner therapy, we recommend scheduling a consultation.
