Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly. At OGS Ortho, we offer a range of clear aligner options—including Spark, Invisalign, and custom in-house aligners using our ULab system—to best suit your needs. Dr. O’Gara, Dr. Gilbert & Dr. Silvaroli are expert clear aligner treatment providers. They have treated many cases with this cutting-edge appliance system.

Have you ever wished for a straighter, healthier smile without all the metal wires and bands that often go along with braces? At O’Gara-Gilbert-Silvaroli Orthodontics we can make your dream of having a new smile come to life. To learn more about clear aligners and to find out if you or your child is a candidate for clear aligners, contact our office today to schedule your clear aligners evaluation.

Clear aligners use a series of custom-made trays to straighten teeth more quickly and with fewer office visits than traditional braces. Thousands of orthodontists in the United States and Canada use clear aligners to accurately and effectively treat their patients. Benefits of clear aligners are:

• Almost undetectable – Clear aligners can barely be seen while you are wearing them! Friends, family members, and co-workers may never even know you are wearing aligners unless of course, you tell them!
• Comfortable to wear – The aligners are made from a special plastic that has smooth, rounded edges so they won’t irritate your mouth and gum tissue.
• Customized just for you – Your clear aligners are customized to fit your mouth. We use advanced 3-D computer imaging technology to replicate an exact impression of your mouth and teeth. Customized aligners are fabricated to fit your mouth, and over time move your teeth into the proper alignment.
• Removable – You can remove your aligners to eat, drink, brush, floss, and for special occasions. There’s no need to change your lifestyle with clear aligners!
• Effective – You will begin to notice a significant difference even before your treatment is complete! Most treatments are completed within one year, however, this can vary from patient to patient.

• With clear aligners, you can have a straighter, healthier smile without all the noticeable wires and brackets.
• Clear aligners are removable making it easy for you to enjoy the foods you love without worrying about breaking or bending your brackets and wires. You can also remove your clear aligners to brush and floss more easily.
• With clear aligners, you can continue participating in day-to-day activities with minimal changes to your lifestyle.
• Office visits and checkups are easy, quick, and painless. Fewer appointments are required throughout your entire treatment.

When you begin your clear aligners treatment you will receive several sets of custom fit aligners. Each set of aligners is worn for 1 – 2 weeks. After that time, you switch your aligners with the next set. Over time you will notice gradual changes in the alignment of your teeth and in just a few months you will have a straighter, healthier smile!
