Clear Aligners

Clear Aligners

Clear aligners offer a discreet way to gradually straighten teeth using a series of custom, removable trays instead of traditional metal braces. Many patients choose this option to correct mild to moderate spacing or crowding issues while keeping their daily routine and appearance largely unchanged. Dr. Jed Kanner, Dr. Adam Salm, and Dr. Hayley Grandeau all provide general dentistry care, including clear aligner treatment, at Dental Office of Dr. Salm, Kanner, and Grandeau.

How Treatment Begins

Getting started with clear aligners means a thorough evaluation of your teeth and bite before any trays are made.

• Intraoral Scanner — Digital scans capture a precise, comfortable impression of your teeth, replacing messy molds when planning your aligner series.
• Digital X-Rays — A clear diagnostic picture of your teeth and roots helps confirm that aligners are a suitable option for your smile.

What to Expect Along the Way

• Sequential Trays — Each set of aligners is worn for a set period before moving to the next in the series, gradually shifting teeth into place.
• Regular Check-Ins — Periodic visits let your dentist monitor progress and make sure treatment is moving as planned.
• Retainers — Once your aligner series is complete, a retainer helps maintain your new smile over time.
