3M™ Clarity™ Aligners are a clear solution for straightening your teeth. The clear aligner system is custom fit for your smile—offering a treatment experience that is nearly invisible, convenient, and comfortable.
Clear aligners gradually move your teeth—but without any metal wires or braces. Clarity Aligners treatment uses a system of removable, nearly invisible plastic trays designed to help guide your teeth into the ideal position to help you achieve the happy, healthy smile you want.
You will get a series of clear aligners that should be worn for about one to two weeks each—depending on your custom treatment plan. The total number of aligners needed to complete your treatment will vary based on your smile’s needs.
It is recommended that aligners be worn 22 hours a day, or as prescribed by Dr. Jamie.
Living with aligners:
Keep up the good hygiene. Removable aligners help you maintain your flossing and good dental habits.
Love your food. Remove your aligners so that you can enjoy your favorite foods.
Enjoy a custom fit. Clarity Aligners are custom fit for you.
Clear expectations:
How long will I be in treatment?
Every smile is unique, and the length of treatment varies based on your smile’s needs. Be confident that your Clarity Aligners treatment plan will be custom designed to achieve the happy, healthy smile you want.
Are clear aligners comfortable to wear?
Clear aligners are made custom to fit your teeth, so they are comfortable to wear. Like with anything new, there is an adjustment period. Speech may be a little different at first but gets better the more you talk with your clear aligners in. Your clear aligners should never be uncomfortable or hurting your cheeks, lips, or tongue!
We are pleased to introduce the I-Tero Scanner which can be used to generate 3D models of the teeth for fabrication of Clarity Aligners instead of the lengthy impressions which were previously required. Your comfort and ease of appointments are our greatest concern.
