Clear Aligners

clear aligner Treatment in Bloomington for a Confident Smile

Similar to Invisalign®, our clear aligner treatment straightens your teeth without wires and brackets, using a series of clear, customized, removable appliances called aligners. It's virtually undetectable, which means hardly anyone will know that you're straightening your teeth.

Discover the Benefits of clear aligners

Clear aligners combines advanced 3-D computer graphics technology with 100-year-old science of orthodontics. Clear aligners are designed to move your teeth in small steps to the desired final position prescribed by your orthodontist. Each aligner is precisely calibrated and manufactured to fit your mouth at each stage of the treatment plan. Your first step is to visit our office to determine if clear aligner treatment is right for you. After sending precise treatment instructions, the clear aligner system uses advanced computer technology to translate these instructions in a sequence of finely calibrated aligners - as few as 12 or as many as 48. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks and only taken out to eat, brush and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will begin to move gradually - week-by-week until the final alignment prescribed is attained. Then you'll be smiling like you never have before!
