Clear Aligners at Hart Family Orthodontics
Clear aligners straighten your teeth with a series of clear, removable trays instead of brackets and wires. They are discrete, they come out for meals and brushing, and they fit easily into daily life. At Hart Family Orthodontics, our board-certified orthodontists plan every case themselves at our Albertville and Buffalo offices. Your first consultation is free.
How Clear Aligners Work
Treatment starts with a digital scan of your teeth, so there are no messy impressions. Our orthodontists use that scan to map out your full plan before your first set of trays is made. You wear each set for about one to two weeks, then move to the next, keeping them in around 20 to 22 hours a day for the best results. You will come in every couple months so our orthodontists can monitor your progress. When you finish, a retainer holds your new smile in place.

Who Clear Aligners Can Help
Clear aligners work well for many cases, including crowding, gaps, and many bite issues. They are a favorite with adults and teens who want a hard-to-notice option and are ready to wear their trays as directed. For our younger patients, early clear aligner treatment can also help guide dental development and create a healthier foundation for their permanent smile. Some complex cases still do better with braces. At your free consultation, our orthodontists will give you an honest answer about which option fits your smile.
