What Are Clarity Aligners?

Clarity Aligners are a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gradually move your teeth into healthier, more attractive positions. Each set is precisely designed to make small, controlled adjustments throughout your treatment until your ideal smile is achieved.

Unlike traditional braces, Clarity Aligners are removable, so you can continue to enjoy all of your favorite foods and drinks while maintaining your brushing and flossing routine with ease. Their nearly invisible appearance also makes them an excellent option for patients who want a more subtle orthodontic solution.

At Dougherty Orthodontics, your treatment with clear aligners is carefully monitored from beginning to end to ensure your smile progresses exactly as planned.

Why Patients Love Clarity Aligners

If you’re seeking a modern orthodontic experience, Clarity Aligners offer several advantages:

  • Nearly invisible appearance for confident everyday wear
  • Custom-designed for a precise, comfortable fit
  • Removable for eating, brushing and flossing
  • No brackets or wires to irritate your mouth
  • Fewer interruptions to your busy lifestyle
  • Personalized treatment planned by an experienced orthodontist
  • Advanced technology that supports predictable results

While the aligners are removable, it’s important that they are worn as directed to help keep your treatment on schedule.

Are Clarity Aligners Right For You?

Clarity Aligners can successfully treat many common orthodontic concerns, including:

  • Crowded teeth

During your consultation, Dr. Dougherty will perform a thorough evaluation, discuss your smile goals and determine whether Clarity Aligners are the best treatment option for your unique needs.

Frequently Asked Questions About ClEAR Aligners

Choosing orthodontic treatment is an important decision, and it’s natural to have questions. Here are answers to some of the questions we hear most often about Clarity Aligners.

Treatment length varies depending on your individual orthodontic needs. During your consultation, Dr. Dougherty will provide a personalized estimate based on your smile goals and treatment plan.

They will not! Clarity Aligners are made from clear material designed to blend naturally with your smile, making them a discreet orthodontic option.

No. Whenever you are eating or drinking anything other than water, it’s important to remove your aligners and safely store them in their case. After meals, simply brush your teeth before placing them back in your mouth.

For the best results, Clarity Aligners should be worn for the number of hours recommended by Dr. Dougherty each day. Consistent wear helps keep your treatment on track.

Clean your clear aligners daily using the cleaning method recommended by our team. Proper care helps keep them clear, fresh and comfortable throughout treatment. Never soak them in mouthwash or brush them using toothpaste, as this can damage them.

To find out if these clear aligners are right for you, we recommend requesting an appointment at Dougherty Orthodontics. During this complimentary appointment for new patients, Dr. Dougherty will evaluate your bite, discuss your goals and recommend the treatment option that will give you the healthiest, most confident smile.
