What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a modern orthodontic solution that straightens your teeth using a series of custom-made, transparent, removable trays. Each set of aligners gently shifts your teeth into the desired position over time, making them a comfortable and discreet alternative to traditional metal braces.

Clear aligners are ideal for adults and teens who want to correct minor to moderate orthodontic concerns such as crowding, spacing, and mild bite issues without the appearance of metal brackets and wires. Because they are removable, you can continue to eat, brush, and floss without restriction.

At Peninsula Dentistry & Orthodontics, we use advanced 3D scanning technology to design your custom aligner treatment plan. You will see a digital preview of your projected results before treatment even begins, giving you confidence in your journey to a straighter smile.

How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of your case. Minor adjustments may take as few as 3 to 6 months, while more complex cases can require 12 to 18 months. During your consultation, we will provide a personalized estimate based on your 3D treatment plan so you know exactly what to expect.
Can I eat with my clear aligners in?
No, you should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than plain water. This prevents staining and damage to the aligners. After eating, brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in. The removable design means you have no dietary restrictions throughout treatment.
How often do I need to wear my aligners?
For best results, you should wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours per day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking (anything other than water), brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear is the key to staying on track with your treatment timeline and achieving optimal results.
Are clear aligners as effective as traditional braces?
Clear aligners are highly effective for treating a wide range of orthodontic cases, including crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, and crossbite. For mild to moderate cases, they produce results comparable to traditional braces. However, severe or complex orthodontic issues may still require conventional braces. During your consultation, we will determine whether clear aligners are the right choice for your specific situation.
