Clear Aligners
Want a straighter smile without the look or feel of traditional braces? At Gold Leaf Dental, we offer clear aligners — a modern, comfortable, and virtually invisible way to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Perfect for both teens and adults, clear aligners fit seamlessly into your daily routine, delivering beautiful results with minimal disruption to your lifestyle.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent trays designed to gently and gradually move your teeth into alignment. Each set of aligners applies light, precise pressure to specific teeth, guiding them toward their ideal positions. Unlike metal braces, clear aligners are removable, smooth, and nearly invisible, so you can smile confidently throughout your treatment.
How Clear Aligners Work
Clear aligners straighten your teeth through a series of carefully planned movements. Your treatment begins with a digital scan or impression of your mouth, allowing us to create a detailed 3D model of your teeth. Using this model, we design a step-by-step plan to move your teeth into their ideal alignment.
You’ll wear your aligners for 20–22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking (anything other than water), and brushing or flossing. Over time, your teeth will gradually shift into their new, perfectly aligned position.
Why Patients Love Clear Aligners

Your Clear Aligner Process
We make every effort to keep you comfortable during your extraction. Here's how the process typically works:
Consultation & Smile Evaluation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation at Gold Leaf Dental. During this visit, we’ll perform a comprehensive exam and take a digital scan or impression of your teeth. This helps us understand your current alignment, discuss your smile goals, and determine if clear aligners are the best option for you.
Personalized Digital Treatment Plan
Using advanced 3D imaging software, we create a customized treatment plan that maps out every stage of your tooth movement. You’ll even get to see a digital preview of your future smile before treatment begins. This plan ensures precise, predictable results and gives you a clear idea of how long your treatment will take and what to expect at each step.
Custom Aligner Fabrication
Once your treatment plan is approved, your clear aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly at every stage of movement. Each aligner is crafted from smooth, durable, and nearly invisible material designed for comfort and effectiveness.
Wearing & Progressing Through Your Aligners
You’ll wear each set of aligners for about 1–2 weeks before switching to the next one in your series. For the best results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day, only removed for eating, drinking (except water), and brushing or flossing.
Smile Reveal & Retainer Care
Once your aligner treatment is complete, it’s time to reveal your beautiful new smile! To keep your teeth in their new positions, you’ll be fitted with custom retainers. Wearing them as recommended will help maintain your straight, confident smile for years to come.
Are Clear Aligners Right for You?
Clear aligners are a great option for treating mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including:
- Crowded or spaced teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- Minor tooth rotations
They’re ideal for teens and adults who prefer a discreet, flexible alternative to braces. However, they may not be suitable for complex cases or patients who struggle with consistent wear. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your smile and determine whether clear aligners are the best choice for you.
