Clear Aligners in California’s Central Valley
Straighten Your Smile Discreetly
Clear aligners offer a comfortable, nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth without brackets or wires. Using a series of custom-made aligner trays, treatment gradually shifts your teeth into their ideal position while fitting seamlessly into your lifestyle.
At Unique Orthodontics, we offer advanced clear aligner treatment similar to Invisalign® and other leading systems designed to fit your lifestyle and smile goals. Our team uses a variety of modern aligner systems and technologies to provide customized orthodontic care for teens and adults.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are removable orthodontic trays made from smooth, BPA-free plastic. Each set of aligners is custom-designed to gently move your teeth little by little over time.
Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners allow you to:
- Eat the foods you love without restrictions
- Remove your aligners to brush and floss normally
- Enjoy a more comfortable orthodontic experience
- Straighten your teeth with minimal visibility
Clear aligners can treat many common orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps and spacing
- Overbites and underbites
- Crossbites
- Mild to moderate alignment concerns
The Benefits of Clear Aligners
Nearly Invisible Treatment
Clear aligners are designed to blend in with your smile, making them a popular option for adults, teens, professionals, and students.
Comfortable & Convenient
Without metal brackets or wires, aligners are smooth and comfortable to wear. They’re also removable, giving you the freedom to eat, brush, floss, and enjoy everyday life more easily.
Customized for Your Smile
Using advanced digital scanning and 3D treatment planning, our team creates a fully customized treatment plan tailored to your smile goals.
Fewer Office Visits
Most patients visit us every 6–8 weeks so we can monitor progress and provide new aligners as needed.
How the Clear Aligner Process Works
1. Complimentary Consultation
Your smile journey starts with a free consultation at Unique Orthodontics. We’ll evaluate your teeth, bite, and goals to determine if clear aligners are right for you.
2. Digital Smile Scan
We use advanced digital scanning technology to create a precise 3D model of your smile — no messy impressions needed.
3. Custom Treatment Plan
Our orthodontic team maps out your tooth movements and designs a personalized aligner series to gradually move your teeth into alignment.
4. Wear Your Aligners
You’ll wear your aligners for 20–22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink anything besides water, brush, and floss.
Most patients switch to a new set of aligners every 1–2 weeks.
5. Reveal Your New Smile
Once treatment is complete, we’ll provide custom retainers to help maintain your beautifully aligned smile for years to come.
How Long Does Clear Aligner Treatment Take?
Treatment time varies based on your smile needs and treatment goals. Some minor corrections may take as little as 6 months, while more comprehensive cases may take 12–24 months.
Many patients begin noticing changes within just a few weeks of starting treatment.
