What to Expect
The Clear Aligner Treatment Process
Consultation and Examination
Your journey to a brighter smile starts with a comprehensive consultation and examination. Dr. Vanessa Leon will assess your dental needs, discuss your esthetic goals, and determine if clear aligners are the right choice for you.
Custom Treatment Plan
Leveraging the latest technology, a custom treatment plan is created just for you. This involves 3D imaging of your teeth to design aligners that fit perfectly and gradually shift your teeth into their desired position.
Wearing Your Aligners & Next Steps
You'll receive your clear aligners, designed to be comfortable and virtually invisible. You'll wear them 22 hours a day, removing them only for eating and cleaning. Regular check-ins with Dr. Leon will ensure everything is progressing as planned.
Types of Misalignments
What Can Clear Aligners Treat?
Overcrowding
Overcrowding is a common dental issue where lack of jaw space causes teeth to overlap and twist. Clear aligners effectively reposition your teeth, creating a more balanced and appealing smile.
Crooked Teeth
Crooked teeth can affect your confidence and oral health. Our clear aligners gently guide your teeth into their correct positions, giving you a straight, healthy smile you'll love to show off.
Spacing & Gaps
Do you have uneven spacing or gaps between your teeth? Clear aligners can close these gaps, resulting in a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Overbite
An overbite, where the upper teeth protrude over the lower ones, can lead to various dental issues. Clear aligners gradually correct this misalignment, improving your bite and overall oral health.
Open Bite
An open bite—when upper and lower teeth don’t touch when the mouth is closed—can cause speech and chewing difficulties. Clear aligners can effectively treat this condition, enhancing your oral functionality.
SureSmile Retainers
After your teeth have been realigned, SureSmile Retainers help maintain their new positions. These custom-made retainers ensure your smile stays perfect, long after your treatment.
