Clear Aligners in Lakewood, WA

How Clear Aligners Work

Clear aligners are removable trays made to fit your teeth. You wear a series of trays that gradually move your teeth according to your treatment plan. You can take them out to eat and to brush and floss.

 

What Happens at a Consultation

We’ll check your teeth, gums, and bite and ask what you’d like to change. If aligners are appropriate, we’ll go over the planned tooth movements, expected timing, and what to budget before you decide.

 

Treatment and Follow Up

If you begin treatment, we’ll show you how to wear and care for your trays and when to switch to the next set. Follow-up visits let us check the fit and track how your teeth are moving.

 

Clear Aligner Questions

How long does treatment take?

Timing depends on the changes your teeth need and how consistently you wear your trays. We’ll discuss the expected timeline once we’ve evaluated your bite.

 

Will I need a retainer?

Retainers help hold your teeth in their new positions after treatment. We’ll explain how and when to wear yours.

 

How much do clear aligners cost?

Cost depends on the treatment plan. We’ll explain your estimate and can help review any orthodontic benefits you have.
