What to Expect with Clear Aligners: Process, Candidacy & Why Expertise Matters
If you’re looking for a subtle, flexible way to straighten your teeth, clear aligners like Invisalign might be the perfect solution. At Carmel Valley Orthodontics, we’re here to guide you through every step of the process—so you know exactly what to expect and how to get the best possible results.
The Clear Aligner Journey
Free Consultation with Dr. Sionit
We start with a complimentary consultation, where Dr. Sionit will perform a full exam using digital imaging to evaluate whether clear aligners are the best option for your goals.
Custom Treatment Plan
Using advanced 3D technology, we’ll create a digital treatment roadmap tailored to your unique smile. You’ll even get a sneak peek at what your future smile could look like!
Wearing Your Aligners
You’ll receive a series of clear aligners, each designed to make gradual changes. They’re worn 20–22 hours a day and switched out every 1–2 weeks.
Routine Progress Visits
We’ll check in with you throughout the process at our Carmel Valley office to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Maintaining Your New Smile
Once treatment is complete, we’ll provide retainers to lock in your results and keep your smile looking its best.
Is This Treatment Right for You?
Clear aligners work well for:
- Mild to moderate alignment issues
- Busy adults and image-conscious teens
- People who want to avoid the appearance of braces
- Patients with good oral hygiene and the discipline to wear aligners consistently
If your case is more complex, don’t worry—Dr. Sionit’s expertise allows us to confidently treat tricky bite problems with a clear aligner plan.
Why See an Orthodontist?
With the rise in clear aligner offerings through general dental offices, it’s worth noting the added value of seeing a board-certified orthodontist. Orthodontists receive years of additional education focused solely on aligning teeth and correcting bite issues.
At Carmel Valley Orthodontics, you get the benefit of Dr. Sionit’s extensive training and personalized care. Whether your case is simple or complex, you can trust that your treatment is being managed by a true specialist.
