The Clear Aligner Therapy Treatment Process
Consultation
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.

Next, we’ll take precise impressions of your teeth and bite using state-of-the-art digital imaging technology. Dr. Snider will use OrthoFX’s AI-powered treatment planning software to design each aligner case personally. This advanced software ensures that every aligner is meticulously planned and customized to fit comfortably and gently guide your teeth into the desired position. Once the plans are finalized, they will be reviewed for accuracy before being sent to our trusted dental lab, where your aligners will be crafted.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
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.
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 orthodontist's instructions on how to wear your aligners correctly is crucial for achieving the best results in the shortest possible time.
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.
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.
