The clear braces are great. You know, we use Invisalign, we use ClearCorrect. And they use gentle forces just like traditional braces to move teeth. Some of the advantages are you really don't see that you are going through any orthodontic work to improve your smile. So people don't really know that you're doing that and some people prefer that. I know my wife personally we treated her with the Invisalign, and we've treated many patients that are in positions where their jobs require that they interact with people all the time. We've had teachers, and we've had CEOs of companies, we've had flight attendants, we've had people that interact every day with the public and they just don't want the traditional braces. So its great with that.
The other advantages is you can take those off when you eat, so you're able to get around and clean areas around the teeth better than you can with traditional braces. We always evaluate, take a digital scan. We evaluate the bite. We get a simulation back to see where we can move things. There's a series of trays that are used and each aligner or tray moves a small segment. And you wear each tray for 2 to 3 weeks, and most treatments we go anywhere between 3 months, to 6 or 8 months, up to a year or so. And its something that our patients have loved. And many times we combine it with other treatments where we're moving things, and then doing some whitening, or doing some veneers if the tooth is too small. But it's a great service.

Invisalign & ClearCorrect Adult Braces
Invisalign® and ClearCorrect clear braces both use nearly invisible plastic aligners to properly align your teeth. The benefits of clear aligners are:
- Removable. You can remove your aligners when you need to. No getting food stuck in your braces or wasting time trying to floss and brush around your brackets.
- See-Through. Your braces will be hardly noticeable, so you don’t have to worry about feeling self-conscious when socializing or in photos.
- No Adjustments. You’ll get new aligner sets every few weeks. Your time won’t be consumed with frequent braces adjustment appointments – you’ll only need to visit every six weeks or so for a progress check.
- More Comfortable. No metal means you don’t have to worry about cutting your lip while playing sports or deal with sharp metal brackets and wires poking you.
The Clear Braces Process
Dr. Ross will customize a treatment plan and show you what’s possible for your smile. At your consultation, we’ll capture 3-D images of your mouth and send them off for your unique aligners to be created. Each aligner will move your smile one step straighter.
Cosmetic Dentistry After Braces
Once your braces are off, you likely won’t want to stop there. For a truly perfect smile, Dr. Ross can create a treatment plan that might include:
- KöR in-office laser whitening or whitening trays you can use at home for a brighter smile
- Laser gum reshaping that can even out your gumline or correct a gummy smile
- Facial aesthetic treatments for a face that’s as youthful as your smile
- Tooth bonding for a quick fix for minor flaws
- Super durable e.max dental veneers for concealing every smile imperfection
