At Paramount Dental, we believe everyone deserves a smile they can feel confident about. Clear aligners have transformed the way people straighten their teeth, offering a comfortable, discreet, and effective alternative to traditional braces. If you’ve been considering orthodontic treatment, here’s what you need to know about clear aligners—the benefits, the process, and the results you can expect.
Benefits of Clear Aligners
- Discreet Treatment – Clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them ideal for professionals, teens, and anyone who wants a subtle solution.
- Comfortable Fit – Custom-made to fit your teeth, they’re smooth and irritation-free compared to metal brackets and wires.
- Removable Convenience – Take them out to eat, brush, and floss—no food restrictions or tricky cleaning routines.
- Predictable Results – Advanced digital planning allows you to preview your treatment outcome before you even begin.
The Clear Aligner Process
- Consultation & Evaluation
At your first visit, our dental team will assess your teeth and bite to determine if clear aligners are right for you. - Digital Imaging & Treatment Plan
Using 3D scanning technology, we create a personalized treatment plan and a digital preview of your new smile. - Custom Aligner Series
You’ll receive a series of aligners, each slightly adjusted to gently move your teeth into their ideal positions. - Progress Check-Ins
Periodic visits to Paramount Dental ensure your treatment is on track and adjustments are made if needed. - Completion & Retainers
After completing your series, retainers are provided to maintain your beautiful new smile.
Expected Results
Most patients complete treatment in 6 to 18 months, depending on their unique needs. With consistent wear (20–22 hours per day), you’ll see gradual improvements in alignment, bite, and overall smile aesthetics.
