First, you will meet with Alex Harris, DDS at our office to determine your smile goals. If you choose clear aligners, we will take 3D scans of your mouth using a special handheld scanner. We use these scans to create your custom set of aligners, which you can start wearing as soon as they’re ready.

Your custom clear aligners are created in a lab, then sent them to our office. They are made of a strong plastic that ensures a comfortable and secure fit for every retainer. Every aligner is trimmed to fit along your gum line without causing irritation, resulting in maximum comfort.

Once we receive your first set of aligners, you will return to our office and we will place them in your mouth. Alex Harris, DDS will ensure they fit properly and feel comfortable, and then your journey to a straighter smile begins!

Wear your aligners every day for 22 hours, only removing them to eat and brush your teeth. The more often you wear your retainers, the faster you will see results. Treatment times will vary depending on the types and extent of the dental issues you are seeking to correct. You’ll start seeing results in a matter of weeks, but it will take several months to complete the treatment process.

You will receive a new set of retainers every 2 weeks. Each set includes minor adjustments and when worn, your teeth will gradually shift to fit the new positions. You will visit us for appointments as necessary, and at these visits, we will track the development of your teeth.

With our scanning technology, we can predict your smile outcome at the start of treatment. You know exactly what the final result will look like and what to expect along the way.
