Clear aligners offer a discreet, comfortable and highly effective way to straighten your teeth without the look or feel of traditional braces. Using a series of custom-made, nearly invisible trays, Invisalign® and OrthoFX gradually shift your teeth into their proper position. Each aligner is worn for about one to two weeks before switching to the next set, helping you achieve a straighter smile with minimal disruption to your lifestyle. Clear aligners are ideal for treating mild to moderate spacing, crowding and bite issues. Treatment times vary, but most patients see results within 6 to 18 months. If you’re looking for an alternative to metal braces, clear aligners could be the perfect solution for you.

Process

Consultation: The clear aligner process begins with a consultation where your dentist will evaluate your teeth, discuss your smile goals and determine whether Invisalign® or OrthoFX is the right fit for you.

Scans: Once you are approved for treatment, digital scans or impressions of your teeth are taken to create a precise, customized treatment plan.

Fabrication: Based on this plan, a series of clear aligners are fabricated to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. You’ll wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush and floss.

Check-ins: Throughout the process, you’ll have regular check-ins to monitor your progress and receive new sets of aligners.

By the end of treatment — typically between 6 and 18 months — you’ll have a straighter, healthier smile with minimal interference to your daily routine.
