What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a series of thin, transparent trays designed to gently and gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Unlike metal braces, these trays are removable, smooth, and custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth. Clear aligners are an ideal option for both teens and adults looking for a more flexible and less noticeable way to correct misaligned teeth.

While Invisalign and ClearCorrect are two popular brand options, our clear aligner services are always customized to fit your needs and preferences—no matter which system is right for you.

Common Issues Clear Aligners Can Correct

Clear aligners are effective in treating a wide range of alignment concerns, including:

• Crowded or overlapping teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Mild to moderate overbite, underbite, or crossbite
• Rotated or tilted teeth
• Relapse from previous orthodontic treatment

During your initial consultation, we’ll evaluate your bite, discuss your goals, and determine if clear aligners are the right option for you. If you're also experiencing issues like jaw tension or tooth grinding, we may combine your treatment with TMJ therapy or bruxism treatment for comprehensive results.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your treatment journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and high-resolution imaging using advanced digital technology. From there, we design your custom series of aligners using detailed 3D models of your mouth.

Here's how it works:

1. Digital Scanning & Planning
   We capture detailed 3D images of your teeth and bite, which allows us to map out every movement and milestone of your treatment.
2. Custom Fabrication
   Your aligners are custom-manufactured using BPA-free, medical-grade plastic for a precise and comfortable fit.
3. Wearing the Aligners
   You'll wear each set for 20–22 hours a day, changing to a new set approximately every 1–2 weeks.
4. Regular Progress Checks
   Periodic visits to our West Long Branch office ensure your treatment is progressing as expected. These visits are shorter and less frequent than those required for traditional braces.
5. Retention Phase
   Once your smile is aligned, we provide custom retainers to help maintain your results long-term.
