Find A Location Clear aligners offer a discreet, comfortable way to enhance your smile without the need for traditional braces.
If you’ve been dreaming of a straighter smile but want to avoid the look and feel of traditional braces, clear aligners could be the perfect solution.
These discreet aligners gently shift your teeth into place while blending seamlessly into your lifestyle. At The Dental Team in Loveland, CO, we provide customized clear aligner treatments to help you achieve a beautiful, healthy smiles with ease.
Clear aligners offer a modern orthodontic solution for straightening crooked teeth. The aligners are a series of thin, custom-fitted trays made of smooth, transparent plastic. Each set is designed to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Unlike metal braces, aligners are virtually invisible, removable, and comfortable, making them a popular orthodontic option for teens and adults alike.
Your path to a straighter smile begins with a personalized consultation with our skilled dental team to determine if you are a good candidate for clear aligners. To start the treatment, we’ll capture the details of your teeth using digital scanning technology or a traditional impression kit, then design aligners tailored specifically for you. Each set is worn for about one to two weeks before switching to the next in the series, gradually moving your teeth into place. To ensure steady progress, you’ll return for routine check-ins so we can monitor results and adjust your treatment plan if needed.
Clear aligners are a versatile orthodontic solution designed to treat multiple dental alignment concerns, such as:
Clear aligners are a popular solution for both teens and adults who want a subtler, more comfortable way to straighten their teeth. They’re especially helpful if you have crowding that makes flossing or brushing difficult. Many adults who choose clear aligners had braces in the past but have seen their teeth shift after they stopped using retainers.
That said, not every orthodontic concern can be treated with aligners. Complex cases may still require traditional braces for the best results. During your consultation, our dental team will carefully evaluate your bite, alignment, and overall needs to determine whether clear aligners are the right fit for your smile.
After starting clear aligner treatment, most patients begin to see visible improvements in just a few months.
The total treatment time varies based on the complexity of your case, but on average, most people complete their aligner plan within 6 to 18 months. To maintain your new alignment and prevent teeth from shifting back, wearing a retainer at night is an essential final step in preserving your results.
You may feel slight pressure or tenderness when switching to a new set of aligners, but this sensation typically eases within a day or two as your teeth adjust.
For the best outcome, aligners should be worn about 22 hours per day, removing them only for meals, drinks, and oral hygiene.
No, aligners must be taken out before eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent staining or damage.
Patients usually return every 4–6 weeks so we can track progress and provide the next set of aligners.
Coverage varies, but many insurance plans that include orthodontics also apply to clear aligners. Our team can help review your benefits and confirm details with your provider.
Unlike online services, our treatments are supervised by experienced dental professionals to ensure safe, predictable, and healthy results. DIY kits may cause improper tooth movement, uneven pressure, or long-term complications. With us, you receive expert oversight and personalized care every step of the way.
