Clear Aligners Landing

Is Your Smile Holding You Back?

Have you ever looked in the mirror and felt like something wasn’t quite right with your smile? 

Maybe your teeth aren’t as straight as you’d like, there are small gaps that make you self-conscious, or your bite just feels off. These imperfections can make you feel insecure, sometimes leading you to hide your smile or even cover your mouth when talking to others. But you shouldn’t have to hide.

If you’ve ever felt embarrassed or unsure because of your teeth, we understand. It’s easy to brush it off, but deep down, it can affect your confidence.

What Are Clear Aligners and How Do They Work?

If you’ve found your way here, you probably already have an idea of what clear aligners are. Invisalign and SureSmile clear aligners are custom-made, nearly invisible trays designed to gradually straighten your teeth without the hassle of traditional braces. They’re removable, comfortable, and work by applying gentle, consistent pressure to move your teeth into the right position over time.

Clear aligners function similarly to traditional braces by using gentle force to guide your teeth into a new alignment. Over time, this continuous pressure encourages your body to naturally remodel the bone and shift your teeth into place.

The result? Straighter, healthier teeth and a more confident, beautiful smile.

The Process:
Your Journey to a Confident Smile

Your journey to a more confident smile begins with an initial consultation, where our experienced team will discuss your goals and walk you through the treatment process.

Dr. Montee and Dr. Massa will then take a quick and precise 3D digital scan of your teeth, allowing us to create a custom treatment plan tailored just for you. Once your first set of aligners is ready, the doctors will ensure they fit perfectly, answer all your questions, and explain what to expect as your treatment progresses.

Are Clear Aligners Right for You?

Clear aligners can be an excellent solution for addressing underbites, overbites, crossbites, open bites, as well as gaps or crowded teeth. Beyond aesthetics, improper alignment can also lead to uneven wear on your teeth, increasing the risk of further dental work or even jaw discomfort over time.

A consultation with us will help determine if clear aligners are the right fit for you. If they aren’t the best option, we’ll work together to find a treatment that best suits your needs to help you achieve a confident, healthy smile.

Cost: What to Expect

The cost of clear aligners will vary depending on your unique situation. Factors such as the length of treatment and the number of custom aligners needed can affect the overall price.

On average, the cost of Invisalign or SureSmile aligners ranges from $4,000 to $6,000 across the United States. These prices are comparable to traditional braces, so clear aligners are often an equally affordable option.

Will Insurance Cover Clear Aligners?

In some cases, yes. Insurance coverage for clear aligners depends on your specific dental plan. We can help you review your insurance benefits and explore all options to make your treatment as affordable as possible.
