Clear Aligner

Straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably with clear aligners, a modern alternative to traditional braces. Clear aligners are designed to fit your lifestyle, giving you the smile you’ve always wanted without interrupting your daily routine.

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are custom-made, removable trays that gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position. Unlike conventional braces, they are virtually invisible and can be taken out for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.

At Pacific Smiles Dental, we use trusted clear aligner systems to ensure your treatment is accurate, efficient, and tailored to your unique smile.

Who Can Benefit from Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are effective for a variety of dental issues, including:

• Crooked or crowded teeth

• Gaps or spacing

• Bite issues, such as overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite

• Rotated or misaligned teeth

• Mild gummy smiles or uneven smile lines

• Midline discrepancies

Your Pacific Smiles Dental dentist will evaluate your teeth and bite to determine whether clear aligner treatment is right for you.

Why Choose Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners offer a range of benefits that make orthodontic treatment easier and more comfortable:

• Discreet: Nearly invisible, ideal for teens and adults.

• Removable: Eat your favourite foods and maintain your regular oral hygiene without interruption.

• Accurate: Your treatment is regularly monitored to ensure each aligner moves your teeth as planned.

• Flexible: Adjustments can be made during treatment to refine your smile and optimise results.

Because your aligners are customised and carefully monitored, your treatment progresses efficiently, with refinements possible without delays.

How Does Clear Aligner Treatment Work?

Your journey begins with a consultation at Pacific Smiles Dental, where your dentist will discuss your goals and take impressions or scans of your teeth. These records are used to create a personalised treatment plan, often including a 3D simulation of your expected results.

You will wear your aligners for 20–22 hours per day, switching to the next set every 1–2 weeks as directed by your dentist. Regular check-ins ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. Most treatments are completed within 6–18 months, depending on the complexity of your case.

Some minor pressure may be felt when starting a new aligner, which is normal and indicates your teeth are moving as intended.

Clear Aligner Costs

The cost of treatment varies depending on your individual needs. During your consultation, your Pacific Smiles Dental dentist will provide a personalised quote and discuss available payment options to make your treatment more manageable.
