Clear Aligners

Straightening your teeth doesn’t have to involve traditional metal braces. At Providence Dental Care, we offer clear aligners—custom-designed, removable trays that gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Clear aligners provide a modern, discreet solution for adults and teens who want a straighter smile without compromising comfort or lifestyle.

Whether you have mild crowding, spacing or bite issues, clear aligners can help you achieve a straighter smile with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

Why Do Many Patients Choose Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners offer several advantages over traditional braces:

  • Discreet appearance — Made from transparent, BPA-free material, clear aligners are virtually invisible.
  • Removable convenience — Eat, drink, brush and floss without restrictions.
  • Comfortable treatment — Smooth trays reduce irritation to lips and cheeks compared with metal brackets.
  • Predictable results — Customised treatment plans ensure precise and controlled tooth movement.

With clear aligners, you can straighten your teeth while helping maintain one's appearance, comfort and oral hygiene.

Benefits of Clear Aligners

Straightening your teeth doesn’t have to involve traditional braces. Clear aligners offer a discreet way to improve alignment. These custom-designed, removable trays gently shift teeth over time. Here are some benefits of clear aligner treatment.
Nearly Invisible and Discreet
Clear aligners are made from transparent, BPA-free material. Unlike traditional braces, they allow patients to straighten their teeth without noticeable metal brackets or wires. This means you can undergo orthodontic treatment with minimal impact on your daily appearance and professional or social life.
Removable for Convenience
Clear aligners can be removed for eating, drinking and oral hygiene. This allows patients to continue enjoying their favourite foods and maintain optimal brushing and flossing routines, which reduces the risk of cavities or gum irritation during treatment. Removability also makes cleaning the trays simple and hassle-free.
Gradual, Effective Tooth Movement
Clear aligners gradually guide teeth into proper alignment using a series of customised trays. This controlled movement reduces discomfort often associated with traditional braces and allows for precise adjustments throughout treatment. Patients can correct mild to moderate misalignment while maintaining everyday comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear aligners are a discreet and effective way to straighten teeth for adults and teens with mild to moderate alignment issues. They can correct problems such as crowded teeth, gaps or minor bite concerns.

During your consultation, your dentist will evaluate your oral health, bite alignment and treatment goals to determine if clear aligners are suitable. Not every case requires traditional braces, but complex bite or severe alignment issues may need additional orthodontic solutions.

Clear aligners use a series of custom-made, removable trays that gently shift your teeth into proper alignment. Each tray is worn for about 20–22 hours per day and swapped every few weeks. Treatment times and results vary, as with every treatment and every patient. 

Caring for Clear Aligners at Home

Proper at-home care is key to maintaining oral health and achieving the best results. Always remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. Brush and floss your teeth thoroughly before putting the trays back in. Clean your aligners daily using a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water, avoiding hot water, which can warp the trays. Regular check-ins with your dentist help ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.

How Do Clear Aligners Work?

Clear aligner treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation and digital assessment. Using advanced imaging technology, we create a customised treatment plan that maps the movement of your teeth from start to finish.  

  • Custom Tray Design — Each set of aligners is designed specifically for your teeth, gradually guiding them into proper alignment.
  • Regular Wear — Aligners are worn for 20–22 hours per day and swapped every few weeks, as recommended by your dentist.
  • Gradual Adjustment — Each new tray applies gentle pressure to move teeth into position, with minimal discomfort.
  • Progress Monitoring — Regular check-ins ensure your treatment is progressing as planned, and adjustments are made if needed.
  • Completion and Retention — Once the desired alignment is achieved, a retainer helps maintain your new smile for lasting results.

Clear aligners are designed to combine convenience, precision and flexibility to make orthodontic treatment more simple and effective.
