Clear aligners offer a comfortable, nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth without traditional brackets and wires. Using a series of custom-made removable aligners, your teeth are gradually guided into their planned positions.
At Orange City Modern Dentistry, we combine digital scanning with customized treatment planning to create a precise and predictable approach based on your smile, bite, and individual goals.
Clear aligners gradually guide teeth into place to treat common orthodontic concerns. A quick evaluation helps us confirm if they’re right for you.
Clear aligners can help straighten crowded or overlapping teeth and close unwanted spaces or gaps, creating a more balanced and properly aligned smile.
Clear aligners can address certain overbites, underbites, crossbites, open bites, and other tooth-alignment concerns to improve both the function and appearance of your smile.
Teeth may shift after previous orthodontic treatment or gradually move over time. Clear aligners can often correct minor changes and help restore proper alignment.
Clear aligners offer a low-profile way to straighten your teeth without traditional brackets and wires.
Custom-made, removable aligners fit comfortably into your lifestyle and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing.
Digital treatment planning allows us to carefully plan tooth movement and monitor your progress throughout treatment.
Dr. Labrada has been using SureSmile® digital orthodontic technology for more than 15 years. Today, we use SureSmile Clear Aligners together with digital scanning and customized treatment planning to create an individualized approach designed around your smile and bite.
SureSmile combines advanced digital technology with a proven orthodontic planning platform, allowing us to carefully plan and monitor treatment from start to finish. Our goal is a comfortable, precise, and predictable approach tailored to your individual smile.
Clear aligners can treat many common orthodontic concerns, including crowded or crooked teeth, spacing, and certain bite problems. However, they are not appropriate for every case. A comprehensive evaluation of your teeth, bite, and oral health will help us determine whether clear aligners are the right treatment option for you.
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case, the tooth movements required, and how consistently you wear your aligners. After your evaluation and digital scan, we can provide a personalized estimate of your expected treatment time.
For predictable tooth movement, clear aligners should typically be worn at least 22 hours per day, removing them primarily for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear is essential to keeping treatment on track.
Aligners should be removed when eating and when drinking anything other than water. Before putting them back in, clean your teeth thoroughly whenever possible to help maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment.
Yes. Retainers are an important part of maintaining your results after clear aligner treatment. Because teeth can shift over time, wearing your retainers as directed helps preserve your new smile and tooth alignment.
