What are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made plastic trays that gradually shift your teeth into alignment over time. They are made from smooth, medical-grade plastic and fit snugly over your teeth without the need for wires or brackets.

At McGarrell Orthodontics, we offer both Invisalign and in-house clear aligners—giving you more options based on your needs, timeline, and budget.

Benefits of Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are ideal for patients who want orthodontic treatment that is:

  • Nearly invisible and discreet

  • Removable for meals, brushing, and flossing

  • Easy to clean and maintain

  • Comfortable with no poking wires or brackets

  • Convenient with fewer in-office appointments

  • Effective for a wide range of alignment concerns

Whether you're a working adult, student, or teen, clear aligners fit seamlessly into your daily routine.

Am I a Candidate for Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a great choice if you have:

  • Mild to moderate crowding or spacing

  • Overbites, underbites, or crossbites

  • Relapse from previous orthodontic treatment

  • A desire for a less noticeable treatment option

If you're unsure whether you're a candidate, we offer complimentary consultations with 3D digital scanning—no impressions required. Dr. McGarrell will evaluate your teeth and create a customized treatment plan just for you.

Invisalign vs. In-House Aligners

We offer two types of clear aligner systems:

Invisalign®

Invisalign is one of the most trusted names in orthodontics. These aligners are made with SmartTrack® material for a precision fit and predictable results. Invisalign Teen also includes special features for growing smiles, like wear indicators and eruption tabs.

In-House Aligners

Our in-house clear aligners are designed and fabricated right here in our office using 3D printing technology. These are a great option for patients needing limited treatment or minor refinements—often at a lower cost and with faster turnaround.

Not sure which is right for you? We’ll help you choose the clear aligner system that matches your goals, timeline, and lifestyle.

What to Expect with Clear Aligner Treatment

Your clear aligner journey includes the following steps:

1. Digital Scan & Consultation

We use iTero® 3D scanning technology to map your teeth and create a personalized treatment plan.

2. Custom Aligner Fabrication

Aligners are custom-made to fit your mouth—either through Invisalign’s lab or with our in-house production.

3. Daily Wear & Progress

You’ll wear each set for 1–2 weeks, around 20–22 hours per day. Every few weeks, you’ll switch to the next aligner in the series.

4. Regular Check-Ins

We’ll monitor your progress every 6–8 weeks and make any needed adjustments to keep your smile on track.

5. Retainers After Treatment

Once your teeth are straight, we’ll provide custom retainers to maintain your beautiful results.
