What is this treatment?

Clear aligners are thin, removable trays made to move teeth in small steps.


Each tray follows a dentist-planned sequence.


Attachments may be placed on some teeth to help guide movement.

Your comfort matters

A new tray can cause mild pressure for a few days.


Aligners are smooth and removable.


Call us for sharp pain, a tray that cuts the gum, or a tray that will not fit.

Recovery & Home Care

Wear aligners 22 hours a day unless told otherwise.


Remove them for all food and drinks except water.


Brush and floss before putting them back in.


Clean trays with an ultrasonic cleaner and cool or lukewarm water.


Avoid brushing the trays because it can create small scratches.

Insurance

Orthodontic coverage varies by plan and may have a separate lifetime benefit.


We provide an estimate and discuss financing before treatment begins.

Helpful Tips

  • Never wrap trays in a napkin

  • Keep the last tray as a backup

  • Call us if an aligner or attachment breaks

You may be wondering...

How many hours a day do I wear aligners?

Wear them 22 hours a day unless we give you different instructions.


Can I eat with them in?

No. Remove them for food and for all drinks except water.


How long will treatment take?

Treatment time depends on the amount and type of movement. We will show you an estimated plan after your exam and scan.


Are aligners right for everyone?

No. Some bites or tooth movements need braces, specialist care, or another approach.


What happens after treatment?

Retainers are needed to help keep the teeth from moving back.
