Easily Begin Treatment

Achieving a straighter smile is simple and stress-free. Clear aligners will fit your lifestyle and provide discreet, comfortable results.

Your dentist offers both Invisalign and SureSmile. You’ll receive personalized care from start to finish.

We’ll begin with a comprehensive exam, including digital X-rays and 3-D scans, to assess your alignment needs. If you’re a good candidate, we’ll develop a plan tailored to your goals and send scans to the lab for aligner creation.

When aligners arrive, your dentist will guide you how to put them in and share other instructions to ensure best results.

We’ll monitor your progress with regular checkups to ensure your teeth are moving into place as planned.

See an Amazing Smile

Clear aligners work by applying gentle, consistent pressure to gradually shift your teeth into place.

Unlike traditional braces, they offer the convenience of being removable for meals and brushing. This means you can maintain your daily routine without interruptions.

Throughout your treatment, we’ll be here to address any concerns and make adjustments if necessary.

By the end of the process, you’ll have a beautifully aligned smile that you’ll be proud to show off. You can even get that extra "wow" look by finishing your treatment with professional whitening.

Common questions

How do clear aligners work to straighten my teeth?

Clear aligners use gentle, consistent pressure to gradually move your teeth into their ideal position. Each set of aligners is custom-made and designed to target specific movements over time. You’ll switch to a new set every one to two weeks, ensuring continuous progress. With regular checkups, we’ll monitor your treatment to ensure everything is on track and moving as planned.

 

Are clear aligners as effective as traditional braces?

Yes, clear aligners are highly effective for correcting mild to moderate alignment issues, including gaps, crowding, and minor bite problems. They work similarly to braces by gradually shifting teeth but offer the added benefit of being removable and discreet. For more severe cases, your dentist may recommend alternative treatments like braces. During your consultation, we’ll determine if clear aligners are the best option for your smile goals.

 

How long does clear aligner treatment take?

The length of treatment varies based on the complexity of your case but typically ranges between six to 18 months. Simple cases involving minor adjustments may take less time, while more significant corrections will require a longer treatment period. You’ll wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day to stay on schedule. Regular checkups with your dentist will ensure that your progress stays on track for timely completion.

Your aligner plan, from scans to follow-up

Premier's clear aligner options include Invisalign and SureSmile. A consultation, digital X-rays, and 3-D scans help your dentist assess whether aligners are suitable and plan your treatment.

When your trays arrive, we explain how to insert and remove them and how to care for them. Follow-up visits allow us to monitor tooth movement and discuss any adjustments. Aligners are removable for meals and oral hygiene; follow your dentist's individual wear instructions.

Once alignment treatment is complete, you can ask whether professional whitening would complement your results.
