Clear Aligners
If you’ve always wanted straighter teeth but prefer to avoid metal braces, clear aligners may be the perfect solution. At Aspiring Smiles Dental, we offer custom-made, virtually invisible aligners that gently and gradually move your teeth into alignment—without disrupting your lifestyle.
Ideal for adults and teens, clear aligners are a modern orthodontic alternative designed for comfort, convenience, and aesthetics.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent trays that gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position. They’re removable, easy to clean, and barely noticeable—making them a popular choice for both teens and adults.
Why Choose Clear Aligners?
- Discreet and comfortable
- Removable for eating and cleaning
- Fewer dental visits needed
- No wires or brackets
- Predictable, digitally-planned results
Clear aligners can effectively treat mild to moderate misalignments, including crowding, spacing, and bite issues. We’ll assess your suitability during your first visit and recommend the best option for your smile.

FAQs:
Clear aligners are ideal for treating mild to moderate alignment issues. During your initial consultation, we’ll assess whether they’re the right option for your smile goals.
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case but typically ranges from 6 to 18 months.
You should wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, only removing them for eating, drinking (except water), brushing, and flossing.
You may feel mild pressure or discomfort when switching to a new set of aligners, but this is generally minimal and a sign they’re working.
It’s best to remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water to avoid staining and damaging the trays.
