Clear aligners

Clear aligners for discreet, bite-aware smile alignment.

Clear aligners can help straighten teeth while fitting into daily life more comfortably than traditional brackets for many patients.

Service detail

Alignment should consider both appearance and function.

Straight teeth can improve smile appearance, but the way teeth fit together also matters for comfort, stability, and long-term results.

What to know

Clear aligner therapy may be appropriate for mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and alignment concerns.

Aligners can create a more even tooth arrangement when crowding is within a manageable range.

Small gaps can often be improved with planned tooth movement and retention.

Dr. Sheplak considers how teeth meet together when planning movement.

Clear aligners are removable for eating and brushing, but consistent wear is essential.

Planning your care

A good result requires diagnosis, planning, compliance, and retention.
