Embrace the path to a straighter smile with clear aligners at Ashton Family Dentistry & Orthodontics. As a modern alternative to traditional braces, Clear aligner treatment offers a virtually invisible way to correct your smile without brackets and wires.
Clear Aligners vs. Invisalign: Are They the Same Thing?
Looking for clear aligners? While Invisalign® is the most recognized name in the category, it’s just one of several trusted clear aligner brands on the market, and not the only path to a straighter smile.
Invisalign is a specific brand, while clear aligners are the broader category (think tissues vs. Kleenex). Many patients use the names interchangeably, but there are several FDA-cleared clear aligner systems available today, each with its own strengths, and our team will walk you through the options and recommend the one best suited to your smile goals.
Our orthodontist will select and customize a clear aligner treatment plan for each patient individually, using a series of removable, virtually invisible trays that gradually shift your teeth into place.
Individualized Treatment With Clear Aligners
Ideal for teens and adults who want a discreet orthodontic solution, clear aligners provide the flexibility and convenience to transform your smile while fitting seamlessly into your daily life.
Each clear aligner treatment plan begins with a personalized consultation to determine the best options for your care. Utilizing advanced 3D imaging technology, we create a digital blueprint of your orthodontic journey, from the initial position of your teeth to the final desired outcome. This technology allows for custom-made aligners that fit snugly over your teeth, designed to gradually shift them into place with precision and comfort.
The Benefits of Clear Aligners
Beyond their aesthetic appeal, clear aligners offer several additional benefits:
- Removability: Easily remove your aligners to eat, brush, and floss, promoting better oral hygiene compared to traditional braces.
- Comfort: With no brackets or wires, clear aligners are made from smooth, flexible material that’s gentle on your gums and cheeks.
- Convenience: Clear aligners typically require fewer adjustment appointments because your treatment progresses through a planned series of customized trays.
- Predictability: Visualize every stage of your treatment, providing motivation and anticipation for your final, beautiful smile.
