Straighter teeth, without metal braces
Clear aligners like Invisalign are a series of thin, custom trays. Each set moves your teeth a small amount. You switch to a new set about every two weeks.
Your plan starts with digital scans of your teeth, which map each step and show a projected result before you begin.
Aligners work best for mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and some bite issues. Severe cases may need traditional orthodontics, and we will tell you if that is a better fit.
Crowded or overlapping teeth are harder to clean, which can raise the risk of cavities and gum disease. Some bite problems also cause uneven wear over time.
And for many patients, a straighter smile simply makes them more comfortable smiling.

Retainers
After treatment, a retainer keeps your teeth from moving back.

Have questions about clear aligners?
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Many cases take about 6 to 18 months. Simple corrections can be shorter and complex cases longer.
How many hours a day do I wear them?
Most of the day and night. You remove them to eat and drink anything other than water, and to brush and floss. Wearing them less slows results.
Do aligners hurt?
You may feel pressure or soreness when you switch to a new set. That is normal and usually fades within a few days.
Will people notice my aligners?
Clear aligners are much less noticeable than braces, though not completely invisible up close.
When is payment due, and can I use my insurance?
Payment is due at the time of service, and you receive a written estimate before treatment begins. Saratoga Smiles is fee-for-service and not in-network with any plan. You receive an itemized, coded statement for your out-of-network claim, our team walks you through the claim process, and your plan reimburses you directly. See insurance and payment details.
