Clear Aligners

A Crystal Clear Path to A Beautifully Straight Smile

At Minera Orthodontics, our goal is to provide you with orthodontic options that fit your life and your style. If you’re looking for a way to straighten your teeth without brackets or wires, clear aligners might be your perfect match. They’re comfortable, removable and nearly invisible—so you can feel confident during the course of your treatment. We proudly offer Angel Aligners and 3M Clarity Aligners to deliver precise and incredible results using a series of custom-made trays. Whether you’re a teen juggling school, sports and a busy social life or an adult ready to invest in your smile, our clear aligners give you the freedom and flexibility to work on the smile of your dreams.

How Clear Aligners Work

Clear aligners are a type of orthodontic treatment made of a transparent, thin plastic material that works by slowly and moving your teeth into their desired positions. They are smooth, nearly invisible shells that fit right over your teeth. Generally, you will wear your aligners for a minimum of 22 hours a day for 1-2 weeks at a time before switching to a new set of trays in the series. How long your treatment takes and the number of trays you will have depends on your orthodontic issues and what it will take to correct them. When you come to Minera Orthodontics for your clear aligners, you can expect:

  • Comprehensive Consultation: Your journey kicks off with a thorough consultation with Dr. Minera. During this appointment, she will evaluate your teeth and take digital scans, photos and X-rays in order to form a complete picture of your oral health and determine if clear aligners are a good fit for you.

  • Personalized Treatment Plan: Once we determine you are a good candidate, Dr. Minera will come up with a personalized treatment plan that tells your teeth where to move for the most accurate results. We will take digital impressions of your teeth, so we can send these images off to our lab partners where they will craft your aligners that fit just for you.

  • Wearing Your Clear Aligners: Once you receive your clear aligners, our team will give you detailed guidelines on wearing them.

  • Tracking & Monitoring Your Progress: You will have consistent follow-ups with us at Minera Orthodontics to monitor your progress and make any adjustments as needed.

  • Retention: After finishing your treatment, we recommend that you wear retainers to maintain your beautiful new smile for life!

Choosing aligners for your orthodontic treatment offers a plethora of benefits. There’s a reason why our patients say they would select them over and over again! Here are some of the main advantages to using clear aligners to transform your smile:

Nearly Invisible Appearance

Both Angel Aligners and 3M Clarity Aligners are made with innovative materials that allow for a more comfortable experience without the irritation that comes with wearing brackets and wires.

Our patients love that they can take out their aligners when they need to for things like eating, drinking and playing sports or instruments. This gives you greater flexibility and allows you to carry on with your day!
