How Clear Aligners Work
Clear Aligners use a series of custom-made aligners that fit snugly over your teeth. These aligners are designed to gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions. Every two weeks, you will switch to a new set of aligners, each slightly adjusted from the previous one, until your teeth are perfectly aligned. The best part? Clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them an attractive alternative to traditional metal braces.
Benefits of Clear Aligners
- Comfortable Fit: Made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, Invisalign aligners are more comfortable than traditional braces and less likely to irritate your gums and cheeks.
- Removable: Unlike braces, clear aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene.
- No Dietary Restrictions: Because you remove your aligners while eating, you can enjoy all your favorite foods without worrying about damaging your braces.
- Fewer Office Visits: Treatment often requires fewer office visits compared to traditional braces, saving you time in your busy schedule.

Clear aligners are suitable for both teens and adults who want a more discreet orthodontic treatment. It can effectively treat a variety of dental issues, including:
- Overcrowded teeth
- Gapped teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite

During your initial consultation, Dr. Weishoff will assess your dental needs and determine if Invisalign is the right option for you. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, a customized treatment plan will be created to give you the best possible results.
