What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are custom-made, removable orthodontic trays that fit snugly over your teeth. Each set applies mild, controlled pressure to gradually shift your teeth and improve their alignment and position. Because they’re made from clear plastic, most people won’t notice you’re wearing them.

Correcting alignment problems once required metal braces, but thanks to advances in orthodontic technology, clear aligners can now deliver excellent results for many patients.

Alignment Issues Clear Aligners Can Treat

Dr. Kang uses ClearCorrect aligners to correct a variety of orthodontic concerns, including:

  • Crowded teeth
  • Crooked teeth
  • Overlapping teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbite
  • Underbite
  • Crossbite

Benefits of Clear Aligners

  • Nearly invisible for a more discreet treatment
  • Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing
  • No brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks and gums
  • Fewer food restrictions than traditional braces
  • Custom-designed with advanced digital planning
  • Safe and effective for teens and adults

The Clear Aligner Process at AppleTree Dental

Your treatment begins with a consultation. Dr. Kang reviews your dental records, discusses your smile goals, and performs an oral exam with digital X-rays to evaluate the alignment of your teeth and jaw.

Next, he takes precise digital impressions using the Medit i500® intraoral scanner, so there’s no need for messy traditional molds. Your scans are uploaded to a computer design program that maps out the exact movements of your teeth, allowing Dr. Kang to build a custom treatment plan and preview your results.

This information is sent to a ClearCorrect lab, which manufactures your series of custom aligners. When they’re ready, you’ll return to our office to try on your first set and learn how to wear and care for them.

Throughout treatment, you’ll visit AppleTree Dental every few weeks for checkups and switch to a new set of aligners. Each set applies slightly different pressure, gradually moving your teeth toward their final positions.

How Long Does Clear Aligner Treatment Take?

Treatment time depends on the alignment issues being addressed and how consistently you follow your care plan. Most patients achieve a straighter, more symmetrical smile in 12-18 months*, though some cases may take longer.

For the best results, wear your aligners 20-22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush your teeth. Attend each scheduled checkup so Dr. Kang can monitor your progress.

Keeping Your Results After Treatment

Once your teeth reach their new positions, you’ll wear a custom retainer to keep them from shifting back. This final step protects your investment and helps your new smile last.
