Clear Aligners — Clear, Confident Orthodontics
At Friendly Family Dentistry, we offer clear aligners, a modern way to straighten your teeth without the look or restrictions of traditional braces. These clear, custom-made aligners allow you to improve your smile discreetly and comfortably, while keeping your lifestyle intact.
How Clear Aligners Work
Clear-aligner treatment uses a series of smooth, nearly invisible aligners that gently and precisely shift your teeth over time. During your first visit, we’ll take digital scans or impressions, then plan your entire treatment path with advanced 3D imaging technology. Each aligner is worn for a period of 1–2 weeks before moving to the next in the series.
With each new aligner, your teeth move closer to their ideal position until your smile transformation is complete. Most clear-aligner treatments take between 6 and 18 months, depending on your unique orthodontic needs.
Are Clear Aligners Right for You?
Clear aligners are a great option for those who want a discreet, flexible way to straighten their teeth. They’re especially well-suited for:
- Crowded or crooked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- Patients who’ve had braces before and need realignment
During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your dental health, alignment needs, and goals to determine whether clear aligners are the best fit for you.
