CLEAR ALIGNERS
Clear Aligners at Selandra Dental – Your Path to a Straighter Smile
At Selandra Dental, we’re committed to providing the best orthodontic solutions, including clear aligners that help you achieve a straighter smile without the look of traditional braces. Clear aligners are a convenient, virtually invisible option for teeth alignment, and they offer the flexibility and confidence you need to look your best throughout treatment.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, removable trays designed to gently shift your teeth into their ideal positions over time. Unlike traditional braces, aligners are nearly invisible, comfortable, and can be removed when eating, or brushing. Clear Correct, one of the most popular brands we offer, provides an effective, discreet way to straighten teeth for adults and teens.
Benefits of Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer several advantages that make them a popular choice among our patients:
- Discreet Appearance: Made from transparent plastic, clear aligners are difficult to notice, so you can go about your day with confidence and people not knowing a thing!
- Comfort: Without the metal brackets or wires of traditional braces, aligners offer a smooth, comfortable fit so less chance of getting those horrible ulcers!
- Removable Convenience: Remove your aligners to eat, brush, and floss, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene (we always recommend taking your aligners out to drink any drinks that contain sugar).
- Customized Fit: Aligners are custom designed to fit each patient's mouth, providing an effective and personalized treatment plan.
- Efficient Results: With regular wear, many patients see results within months to a year, depending on their specific alignment needs but you do need to be dedicated the more you wear them the quicker things move..

How Clear Aligner Treatment Works
- Consultation and Customization
At your first appointment here at Selandra Dental, we will take digital scans or impressions of your teeth. Using these, we will send our information off to ClearCorrect where a simulation of your treatment will be made, this will allow you to see what the outcome will be! once you are happy with the way your new smile will look, we will create a series of custom aligners designed specifically for your needs. - Wearing Your Aligners
Each aligner set should be worn for 20-22 hours per day and changed every one to two weeks as advised by your dentist. - Regular Checkups
Throughout treatment, you’ll visit Selandra Dental every few weeks to ensure your teeth are moving correctly and to receive your next sets of aligners. - Achieving Your New Smile
Once you complete your aligner series, you’ll likely wear a retainer to help maintain your new, truly beautiful straight smile.
