Why should I choose clear aligner therapy?
Clear aligner therapy is an alternative to traditional braces that uses custom-made dental appliances to gradually straighten your teeth without the clunky, uncomfortable metal brackets. The aligners are made of clear thermoplastic material, providing a discreet look that is nearly invisible when worn. This makes clear aligner therapy an attractive option for those who are looking for a way to straighten their teeth without the visible appearance of traditional braces. If you are struggling with crowded teeth or gaps, clear aligner therapy may be the right choice for you.

"If I could give 100 stars, I would! My dad was seen today as a new patient and he was treated as family! Erika greeted us as soon as we walked in and helped him get checked in with no trouble. Brittney, amazing hygienist, was so kind, attentive, answered my dad’s questions, made sure he was comfortable throughout his cleaning and has hands of an angel because my dad did not feel any discomfort. Dr. Benavides, very kind, generous, professional and best bedside manners! If you are looking for a dentist, you have to schedule with Buena Vida Dental Studio! Thank you for taking great care of my dad."

Frequently Asked Questions
How do clear aligners work?
%402x%20(2).svg){kind=icon}
Clear aligners use custom-made aligners to gradually shift your teeth closer to their ideal placement. Each aligner tray is worn for about two weeks and gently shifts your teeth. Treatment time can vary from several months up to two years, depending on the severity of the misalignment. Most patients wear their clear aligners for about a year.
Are clear aligners safe?
Absolutely! Clear aligners are made of BPA-free, medical-grade clear plastic for your comfort and continued health.
Are clear aligners faster than traditional braces?
Clear aligner therapy can often provide quicker results than traditional braces. The aligners gently shift all teeth faster than traditional braces, which push or pull on each tooth individually. However, every case is different, so treatment time can vary depending on your unique needs. It’s important to follow your dentist’s instructions for wearing your custom-made clear aligners to achieve the results you’re looking for in the least time possible.
What is the difference between clear alignment therapy and traditional braces?
Clear aligners use barely noticeable plastic trays called aligners to gently and discreetly shift your teeth. Traditional braces rely on metal or ceramic brackets that are secured to each tooth and connected by metal wires. Clear aligners are also more comfortable than traditional braces because there are no sharp points to cause discomfort, and they are easily removable for meals, photos, and other functions. However, clear aligners aren’t suitable for more complex issues like malpositioned jaws or severely misaligned bites, for which braces are a more versatile type of orthodontic treatment.
How much do clear aligners cost?
The cost of clear aligners can vary from patient to patient depending on factors like the aligner brand and insurance coverage. To get an estimate of the cost for your clear aligner therapy, schedule a consultation with your dentist.
