Clear aligners move teeth through a series of custom trays, each one nudging your bite slightly closer to its final position than the last. An intraoral scanner captures your bite digitally and produces a stage-by-stage simulation of where your smile is headed.
Mild-to-moderate crowding and spacing respond well to aligners; more complex bite corrections may still call for traditional brackets. They only work if worn roughly twenty-two hours a day, out just for eating and brushing — the trays don't do the work by sitting in a drawer.
Attachments — small tooth-colored bumps bonded temporarily to certain teeth — give the aligner extra grip for harder movements like rotations. That planning happens upfront, so you know from day one which stages include attachments.
Intraoral scanners replace the old goopy impressions for a faster, more accurate starting point.
A stage-by-stage animation shows the expected movement before you agree to start.
If teeth need extra adjustment partway through, that's typically already accounted for in the plan.
Trays come out for meals and photos, but results depend on hitting the twenty-two-hour target.
Our network specialists cover the full range of this procedure, from the routine case to the complicated one.
A 3D scan generates a preview of your projected results before any trays are ordered.
Aligners gradually shift crowded teeth into alignment across a series of custom trays.
Front-tooth gaps typically close over a series of tray changes spaced roughly two weeks apart.
Certain overbite and underbite cases respond well to aligners when caught before they're severe.
Minimal enamel reshaping between teeth sometimes creates the space alignment requires.
Fitted immediately after the final tray to prevent teeth from drifting back.
A coordinator answers and asks a few quick questions about your specific case and how urgent it is.
We match you with a nearby specialist experienced in this exact procedure and check real-time openings.
The specialist examines your case, often with same-visit imaging, and gives you a cost estimate before starting anything.
Treatment proceeds on the agreed plan, with aftercare instructions and a follow-up if the case calls for one.
"Called and they were upfront that my usual office was booked, then found me somewhere open the same week."
"Didn't have to wait weeks like my old dentist. Got routed straight to a specialist who knew what to do."
"Was honest that the closest office was full and got me into a nearby one instead of leaving me stuck."
Most cases run six to eighteen months depending on how much correction is needed.
Some pressure is normal with each new tray, but it tends to be less intense than wire adjustments.
Consistent wear in that twenty-to-twenty-two-hour range is what keeps treatment on schedule.
Crowns and fillings don't automatically rule you out; the simulation accounts for them.
Depending on your stage, moving to the next tray or getting a replacement made are both options.
Pricing scales with how many trays your case requires, laid out before you commit to treatment.
Our coverage spans Loma Linda and its surrounding area, matching you with the closest available specialist who's actually open.
Every provider in our CA network carries an active, checked license.
