Clear aligners offer a discreet, removable way to straighten teeth and improve the bite. Each series is custom designed to guide teeth through planned movements over time, with treatment directed and monitored by Dr. Schneider. If you ever wished for a straighter, healthier smile, but haven’t wanted to deal with all the metal wires and bands that often go along with braces, clear aligners are a great alternative.
Treatment begins with a digital scan of your teeth. Dr. Schneider uses detailed diagnostic information to create a personalized plan. You will receive a sequence of aligners, with each set designed to make a specific stage of movement.
Each set of aligners is typically worn for only two weeks. After two weeks you can switch your aligners with the next set and continue straightening your teeth. Over time you will notice changes in the alignment of your teeth and in just a few months you will have a straighter, healthier smile!
Aligners must be worn as directed, typically most of the day and night, and removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. Regular visits allow Dr. Schneider to check progress and make adjustments when needed.
Clear aligners can address many cases of crowding, spacing, relapse, and certain bite concerns. They are not automatically the best option for every patient or every type of movement. Successful treatment depends on a sound diagnosis, a carefully designed plan, and consistent wear.
The aligners are only one part of treatment. Dr. Schneider evaluates your bite and oral health, plans how each tooth should move, monitors your response, and makes clinical adjustments throughout the process. This ongoing supervision helps keep treatment focused on both the appearance and function of your smile.
Clear aligners are a safe and effective method of aligning your teeth. With advanced technology, Dr. Spencer Schneider can chart your orthodontic journey so that you can visualize your results from the very beginning.
