How Clear Aligners Work
Initial Consultation
During your consultation, our skilled dentists will evaluate your smile, listen to your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we’ll map out the exact movements needed to align your teeth for a perfect smile.
Custom Aligners
You’ll receive clear, custom-fitted aligners that are designed to move your teeth with precision, making small adjustments at each stage of treatment.
Progressive Treatment
Every 1-2 weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners, gradually shifting your teeth into alignment with minimal discomfort and maximum efficiency.
Beautiful Results
With consistent wear and regular check-ups, you’ll enjoy a smile that’s not only straight but healthier and more confident, improving both your appearance and oral function.
What Clear Aligners Treat
Clear aligners can address a variety of dental concerns, giving you a smile you can feel proud of. Here's how they help:
Crowded Teeth

Bite Issues

Misaligned Teeth
Straighten crooked teeth to enhance the appearance of your smile and make brushing and flossing easier, preventing future dental problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon will I see results?
Many patients begin noticing improvements in their smile within the first few months of treatment. Clear aligners gradually shift your teeth into the desired position, with visible results that grow over time.
Am I a candidate for clear aligners?
Clear aligners work for most adults and teens. To determine if clear aligners are right for you, schedule a consultation with our experienced team at SP Dentistry, and we’ll assess your dental needs.
Will I need a retainer after treatment?
Yes, wearing a retainer is essential after completing clear aligner treatment. It helps maintain your newly aligned smile by preventing your teeth from shifting back to their original positions.
How often are check-up appointments?
Typically, check-up appointments are scheduled every 6-8 weeks. During these visits, we will monitor your progress, make adjustments, and provide you with new sets of aligners.
Does insurance cover clear aligners?
Many dental insurance plans offer coverage for clear aligners, but coverage can vary. Our team at SP Dentistry will verify your insurance benefits and help explain financing options so you can move forward with treatment without financial concerns.
How do I clean my aligners?
Cleaning your aligners is simple! Use lukewarm water and mild soap, or you can opt for specialized clear aligner cleaning solutions. Make sure to clean them daily to keep them fresh and odor-free.
Can I eat normally with clear aligners?
You can eat normally, but you must remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. After eating, be sure to clean your teeth before reinserting your aligners to maintain your oral hygiene.
How often should I wear my aligners?
To achieve the best results, you should wear your aligners for 20-22 hours each day. The only time you should remove them is for eating, drinking (other than water), and cleaning.
Is clear aligner treatment painful?
While you may feel some mild discomfort when switching to a new set of aligners, it's generally less painful than traditional braces. This discomfort usually subsides after a few days as your teeth adjust.
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Treatment typically takes between 12 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of your case and how consistently you wear your aligners. The more diligently you follow your treatment plan, the quicker you'll see results.
