Process
Consultation: Our team will assess your teeth and determine whether you’re a suitable candidate for clear aligner treatment. Using advanced imaging technology, we will provide a glimpse of what your smile could look like after the treatment.
Customized Plan: Each mouth is unique, so your treatment plan will be, too. We take precise measurements and images of your teeth to design tailored clear aligners and ensure their proper alignment once done.
Receiving Your Aligners: Once your custom-made aligners are ready, you’ll start wearing them for 20-22 hours a day and only remove them to eat, drink, brush and floss to have beautiful, straight teeth in no time.
Progress Tracking: Every few weeks, you’ll transition to a new set of aligners, gradually moving your teeth into their desired positions. Periodic checkups with us will ensure that everything is on track.
Completion: After you’ve cycled through all your aligners and achieved the desired alignment, you may receive a retainer to ensure that your teeth will maintain their new position.
FAQ

Can you eat with clear aligners?

What issues can clear aligners address?
Clear aligners can treat many cases of:
- Overbite or underbite
- Crossbite
- Gap teeth
- Open bite
- Crowded teeth
- Generally misaligned lower teeth
However, some complex orthodontic issues might require traditional metal braces. Dr. Dennison can help determine whether clear aligners are right for your specific situation.
-
Are clear aligners better than braces?
Clear aligners and traditional braces both effectively straighten teeth, but they serve different needs.
- Clear aligners are nearly invisible and often preferred by adults and those concerned about aesthetics. They are typically more comfortable and more convenient since you can remove them to eat and clean your teeth.
- Traditional clear braces, while more visible, can be more effective for complex orthodontic issues and don’t rely on the patient remembering to wear them.
The choice between the two often depends on individual preferences, orthodontic needs and lifestyle considerations.
