The Clear Alignment Technology Process
The clear alignment process starts when you meet with your dentist about it. The dentist will then make a detailed scan of your teeth and create an alignment plan that will help you achieve all your dental dreams. Once your plan is drawn up, a set up clear aligners will be created to start moving your teeth into place.
You will periodically meet with your dentist to check-in and to receive a new set of aligners to help you to keep progressing. These aligners will help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
How to Care For Your Clear Aligners
The best way to see results is to wear your aligners as much as possible. You should wear them both day and night. Take them out only when eating food or drinking a beverage that’s not water. Be sure to brush the aligners and teeth before putting your aligners back in. Make sure you floss and brush regularly during your orthodontic journey.

Advantages to Clear Aligners
Unnoticeable
There are specific advantages to wearing clear aligners. Discreetness is very important, and no one will ever know you are straightening your teeth. The aligners are only noticeable if someone looks at your teeth close up.
Comfortable
They are comfortable to wear because they’re one piece, and that means they do not need to be checked and adjusted on a frequent basis. Gone are the metal brackets bonded to your teeth and adjusted with wires. Headgear is also a thing of the past, and you will not have any type of mouth irritation with these advanced aligners.
Removable
You wear them all day and during sleep, but they are removable for eating and brushing and then replaced. You can eat whatever you like during your treatment time – absolutely no food restrictions!
