Clear Aligners at Pacific Dental Care
Clear aligners use a series of custom-made trays that fit closely over your teeth. Each tray applies targeted pressure to gradually shift teeth into healthier, more attractive positions. This modern orthodontic approach blends comfort, aesthetics, and convenience for teens and adults.
How Clear Aligners Work
Your treatment begins with digital imaging to create a precise 3D model of your teeth. From there, we design a sequence of aligners, each slightly adjusted to move specific teeth. You’ll wear each tray for about two weeks before transitioning to the next one in the series.
- Custom Fit Each aligner is tailored to your smile for comfort and accuracy.
- Removable Design Eat, brush, and floss normally without limitations or special tools.
- Subtle Appearance Transparent trays make treatment nearly invisible in everyday settings.
Clear Aligners vs. Invisalign
Clear aligners and Invisalign share similar benefits as removable, transparent orthodontic trays. The main difference is that Invisalign is a branded system with proprietary materials and mapping technology. For many mild to moderate cases, clear aligners provide an effective and more budget-friendly alternative. Patients seeking the most advanced aligner technology may prefer Invisalign →.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Clear aligners can address spacing, crowding, mild bite issues, and aesthetic misalignment for teens and adults. Ideal candidates have healthy gums and teeth free of untreated decay. During your consultation, we evaluate your bite, take images, and outline a clear treatment timeline based on your goals.
Your Treatment Experience
Aligners are worn 20–22 hours daily and removed only for eating, brushing, and drinking anything other than water. Periodic checkups allow us to monitor progress and adjust your plan if needed. Most patients complete treatment within 6–18 months, depending on case complexity.
