Clear Aligners in Henderson, NV - Straighten Your Smile Discreetly with Brilliant Smiles Dentistry

Clear Aligners are a treatment that gently move teeth into place. The trays are worn in a series over time to create a beautiful smile. Clear Aligners are a popular alternative to traditional braces, and do not have any brackets or wires. The aligners are discrete and are comfortable when worn, and do not cause any mouth or gum irritation.

The clear aligner trays are worn anywhere between 20-22 hours a day. The time worn each day depends on the patient's treatment plan and the level of correction needed. Clear aligners are easily removable for drinking and eating, and have a blue indicator to let patients know when they have worn the trays for the required amount of tine each day. The blue indicator is great for teens using the clear aligners, and helps parents know if their child has worn the trays for the correct amount of time.

Having that beautiful straight smile is important, and we want our patients to be proud of their smile. A smile is the first thing you see, and our team will listen to each patient's goals to ensure we get you the results you desire.

Clear aligners are a popular choice for both teens and adults. This treatment helps if you have overcrowding, chewing, or overbite issues. Older teens and adults can follow instructions daily and ensure the trays are worn for the required amount of time. On average this treatment takes between 6-18 months, and this is comparable to the treatment time for traditional braces. During our consultation process we will discuss each patient's age, level of correction, and smile goals to help choose which orthodontic treatment is best.

The Clear Aligner Treatment Process at Brilliant Smiles Dentistry

1. Consultation and Digital Scanning
   Your journey with clear aligners begins with a thorough consultation at Brilliant Smiles. Dr. Alivia will conduct a detailed examination, take Dental X-rays, and use advanced 3D scanning technology to create a digital model of your teeth. This model allows us to design a precise treatment plan tailored to your smile goals.
2. Customized Aligner Fabrication
   Once your treatment plan is finalized, a series of custom-made aligners will be created. Each aligner in the series is slightly adjusted to apply gentle pressure on specific teeth, gradually moving them into alignment.
3. Wearing and Caring for Your Aligners
   You’ll wear each set of aligners for about 1-2 weeks, switching to the next set as prescribed by Dr. Alivia. Aligners should be worn 20-22 hours a day for the best results, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss.
4. Regular Check-ups and Progress Tracking
   Every few weeks, you’ll visit our Henderson office so Dr. Alivia can monitor your progress and provide you with your next sets of aligners. Each visit allows us to make sure your teeth are shifting according to plan, ensuring optimal outcomes.
5. Completion and Retention
   Once your treatment is complete, Dr. Alivia will provide a custom retainer to help maintain your new, straight smile. Retainers are essential to prevent teeth from shifting back and to protect the long-lasting results of your aligners. Pairing regular check-ups with our General Dentistry services will further support the health and stability of your new smile.

Clear Aligners vs. Traditional Braces: Which is Right for You?

Clear aligners offer several advantages over traditional braces, including aesthetic appeal, comfort, and flexibility.

Dr. Alivia will evaluate your specific needs during your consultation and recommend the best solution, whether that’s clear aligners, Invisalign, or another orthodontic option.
