Discreetly Straighten Your Smile with Clear Aligner Treatment in Highlands Ranch

At Espire Dental Highlands Ranch, we believe that achieving a straighter smile shouldn’t interfere with your daily life. That’s why we offer clear aligners like Invisalign and ClearCorrect for clear, removable aligners that can straighten your teeth without the need for traditional braces. Whether you’re looking to fix crowding, gaps, or bite issues, clear aligners offer a discreet, comfortable solution to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.

How Invisalign and ClearCorrect Work

Both Invisalign and ClearCorrect aligners use the same basic process to straighten your teeth: a series of custom-made trays are designed to gradually shift your teeth into alignment. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next, with each set moving your teeth slightly closer to the desired position.

Here’s how the process works:

Initial Consultation: During your consultation, we’ll assess your teeth and discuss your smile goals to determine if Invisalign or ClearCorrect is right for you. We’ll also take digital impressions of your teeth using state-of-the-art 3D imaging technology.
Custom Treatment Plan: Based on your digital scans, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan that outlines the specific movements your teeth will undergo during your treatment. You’ll be able to see a digital preview of how your teeth will look once the process is complete.
Wearing Your Aligners: You’ll receive a series of custom aligners, each slightly different from the last. You’ll wear each set for about 20-22 hours a day, only removing them to eat, drink, brush, or floss. Every two weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners, which will continue moving your teeth.
Regular Checkups: Throughout your treatment, we’ll schedule periodic checkups to ensure your teeth are moving as expected. Most patients complete their Invisalign or ClearCorrect treatment in about 12-18 months, depending on the complexity of their case.
Reveal Your New Smile: Once your treatment is complete, you’ll be given a set of retainers to wear at night to maintain your results. You’ll leave with a beautifully straight smile that you can be proud of!

How long does treatment with clear aligners take?

Most patients complete their Invisalign or ClearCorrect treatment within 12-18 months, though the exact length of treatment depends on the complexity of your case.

How often do I need to wear my aligners?

You should wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day, only removing them to eat, drink, brush, or floss.

Are clear aligners painful?

Clear aligners are generally more comfortable than traditional braces, though you may feel some mild pressure or discomfort when switching to a new set of aligners. This is a sign that your teeth are shifting as planned.

Can I eat with my aligners in?

No, you should remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps keep them clean and prevents staining or damage.

How do I clean my aligners?

To keep your aligners clean, brush them gently with a toothbrush and water. Avoid using toothpaste, as it can scratch the plastic.

Will insurance cover Invisalign or ClearCorrect?

Many dental insurance plans offer partial coverage for orthodontic treatments like Invisalign or ClearCorrect. We’ll help you navigate your insurance benefits and provide options for financing if needed.
