Appearance is not the only benefit of straighter teeth. Crooked or crowded teeth can trap food between them, which makes them harder to keep clean and can lead to bite problems over time.
Clear aligners are a series of clear trays that fit over your teeth, similar to a retainer but far less noticeable. About every two weeks you switch to the next set, and each one gently moves your teeth closer to the right position. Teens can wear them too, see clear aligners for teens.

Dr. Anwar examines your teeth and bite at your consultation and tells you whether aligners or another option is the better fit.
Overlapping teeth are harder to brush and floss. Straightening them makes daily cleaning easier and can improve the look of your smile.
Aligners can gradually move teeth together to close spaces, without brackets or wires.
When an overbite or underbite comes from the position of the teeth, aligners can often help. When the cause is the jaw itself, a different treatment may be needed.
Your consultation starts with a review of your medical history, your oral health, and the position of your teeth.
Many patients with crowding, gaps, or mild bite concerns are. Dr. Anwar confirms it after examining your teeth and bite.
Yes. Teens can remove their trays for meals, sports, and school photos, which makes treatment easier to stick with.
We take care of active decay or gum concerns first, so your teeth move on a healthy foundation.
Some patients do. They are tiny tooth-colored bumps that help the aligner grip a tooth, and they come off when treatment is complete.
How long treatment lasts depends on how far your teeth need to move. Dr. Anwar gives you a time estimate at your consultation.
We review your medical history, any medications or conditions, and the position of your teeth.
We record your teeth and use them to digitally map how each tooth will move.
We check the fit and walk you through how to wear and care for your aligners.
Each set moves your teeth a little closer to their final position, with fewer visits than braces.
A clear retainer, similar to your aligners, keeps your teeth from drifting back.
Dr. Anwar doesn’t rush treatment. She takes the time to plan each case carefully and explain every step before you start.
The longer the trays stay out, the longer treatment takes. These habits keep you on schedule.
Keep trays in as much as possible. Take them out to eat, brush, or for a game, a presentation, or a photo.
Remove aligners for meals and any drink other than water. Soda can stain or damage the trays.
No brackets to clean around. Brush after each meal before putting the trays back in.
Rinse with lukewarm water daily and brush gently with a soft toothbrush. Store them in their case.
A slight lisp can happen for the first few days with a new set. Most people adjust quickly.
No wire adjustments like braces, so you come in less often and follow a clear tray schedule.
Both can straighten teeth. The right choice depends on your teeth, your bite, and your routine. Our full guide to clear aligners vs. traditional braces goes deeper.

Wear them at least 22 hours a day for the best results. Take them out only to eat, to drink anything other than water, and to brush and floss.
It depends on how far your teeth need to move. Dr. Anwar examines your teeth and bite at your consultation and gives you a time estimate for your case.
Most patients move to the next set of trays about every two weeks. Each set brings your teeth a little closer to their final position.
You may feel some pressure or soreness when you start a new set of trays. This is normal and usually eases within a few days.
Take your aligners out for meals and for any drink other than water. Brush your teeth before you put them back in so food is not trapped against your teeth.
Some patients notice a slight lisp for the first few days with a new set. Most people speak normally again once they get used to wearing them.
Yes. We explain each step in advance, can arrange an office visit before treatment starts, and can suggest calming options such as listening to music during your appointment.
