A straighter smile can do more than improve your appearance. It can enhance your comfort, your confidence and your oral health. At Rocky Ridge Dental Associates, we are proud to offer clear aligners as a discreet and flexible solution for patients who want to improve tooth alignment without traditional braces.
Clear aligners use a series of custom-made trays that gently shift your teeth over time. Made from smooth, transparent material, these aligners are nearly invisible when worn. They are removable, making it easy to brush, floss and enjoy your favorite foods throughout treatment. For teens and adults seeking a modern approach to orthodontic care, clear aligners are a convenient option that blends into your lifestyle.
Comfortable and Customized Orthodontic Care
From your first consultation to your final aligner, our dentists and team focus on creating a treatment plan that works for your goals, timeline and comfort. Each set of aligners is designed based on precise digital scans of your teeth. This technology allows for a detailed and personalized approach that ensures effective and predictable results.
Benefits of choosing clear aligners include:
- Nearly invisible appearance for discreet treatment
- Removable trays for easier eating and oral hygiene
- No wires, brackets or adjustments required
- Smooth material for greater comfort during wear
- Custom-fit design based on advanced digital imaging
Clear aligners can correct a wide range of mild to moderate orthodontic concerns, including crowding, spacing and bite alignment. Because the aligners are removable, they allow for fewer dietary restrictions and better access for brushing and flossing – two major advantages for maintaining oral health during treatment.
