Ready to align your teeth without the hassle of metal braces? Our clear aligner treatments in Ahwatukee offer a smooth, comfortable, and nearly invisible way to transform your smile.
Clear aligners are custom, transparent trays designed to gradually move your teeth into better alignment. Each tray set is worn for about 1–2 weeks before switching to the next stage in your treatment plan. Since aligners are removable, you can eat, drink, and brush freely—keeping your mouth clean and your daily routine uninterrupted.
We’ll take digital scans of your teeth, map out your tooth movement, and preview your estimated treatment timeline and final smile.
You’ll receive several sets of aligners with simple care instructions. Some cases may include tiny tooth-colored attachments to improve grip and precision.
Every 6–10 weeks, we’ll review your progress and make small refinements if necessary to ensure smooth movement.
Once your teeth are perfectly aligned, we’ll remove attachments and fit custom retainers to preserve your new smile.
Skip the wires and brackets—clear aligners fit smoothly over your teeth without irritating your cheeks or gums. Plus, you can remove them anytime for meals, brushing, or special occasions.
Designed to blend seamlessly with your smile, clear aligners offer a subtle, modern alternative that keeps your orthodontic journey private and confidence high.
Since aligners are pre-planned digitally, you’ll need fewer in-office adjustments than with traditional braces. Routine check-ins help ensure your progress stays right on track—without disrupting your schedule.
Each aligner set is crafted from advanced 3D scans of your mouth, ensuring a personalized fit and precise movement plan that aligns perfectly with your smile goals.
Clear aligners are custom-made, removable trays that fit snugly over your teeth. Each set applies gentle, consistent pressure to guide your teeth into alignment. You’ll typically switch to a new set every 1–2 weeks, allowing gradual and predictable progress toward your dream smile.
If you have mild to moderate crowding, gaps, or bite misalignment, you’re likely a great fit. Aligners work well for adults and teens who can wear them 20–22 hours a day. During your consultation, we’ll confirm whether aligners are the most effective option for your goals.
Unlike braces, clear aligners are virtually invisible and fully removable—no brackets, no wires. You can eat freely and maintain your usual oral hygiene routine. Braces may still be better for complex cases, but aligners offer a more comfortable and flexible approach for most patients.
