What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are an innovative orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth without traditional metal braces. These custom-made, transparent trays are crafted from smooth, comfortable plastic and fit snugly over your teeth. Clear aligners gradually move your teeth into their desired positions by applying gentle pressure. The alignment process is completed through carefully planned, incremental adjustments in your aligner trays.

Our office will create a customized treatment plan for your unique orthodontic needs. We have the experience with clear aligners to address mild to moderate orthodontic cases of crowding, overbites, underbites, open bites, crossbites, and gaps in teeth.

Benefits of Clear Aligners

Our office recognized clear aligners as an effective alternative to traditional braces to straighten your teeth. Aside from straightening your teeth, clear aligners offer many benefits for patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. Benefits of clear aligners include:

  • Discreet Appearance: Clear aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment. This is a great option for adults and teens who prefer a more subtle solution for correcting bite issues.
  • Removable: Clear aligners can be easily removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. This allows you to properly brush and floss your teeth and eliminates restrictions with eating and drinking.
  • Comfortable: Made from smooth plastic, clear aligners are designed to be comfortable and reduce irritation.
  • Customized Fit: Each set of aligners is custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly, based on digital scans or impressions.

Our Orangevale Clear Aligner Process

Our dentist will begin your treatment with a consultation to discuss your needs and assess your teeth to determine if clear aligners are the right choice for you. We will then take impressions of your teeth and send them to a trusted lab where your aligners will be created.

Once your aligners are ready, you will return to our office to pick them up and receive detailed instructions on proper wear and care. Each set of aligners is typically worn for about two weeks, for 22 hours a day, only being removed when eating, drinking, and brushing your teeth. You will then revisit our office every few weeks to receive your next set of aligners and allow our dentist to check the progress of your teeth alignment.

Clear Aligner FAQs

Our office understands you may have questions regarding clear aligner treatment. Our knowledgeable staff is ready to answer your questions and guide you throughout your treatment process. Common clear aligner questions are:

Will I need to wear a retainer after completing treatment with clear aligners?

Yes, wearing a retainer after completing treatment with clear aligners helps maintain the newly aligned teeth in their corrected positions. Our dentist will provide specific instructions on retainer use.

Clear aligners should be cleaned regularly to prevent bacteria buildup and odors. They can be gently brushed with a soft toothbrush, mild soap, or approved cleaner. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic.

Yes, clear aligners can correct minor relapses or teeth shifts after previous orthodontic treatment. Our dentist will assess the extent of the shifting and determine if clear aligners are suitable for realigning your teeth.

Clear aligners are versatile tools used to treat a variety of orthodontic cases for teens and adults. Our dentist will perform a consultation prior to treatment to determine if they are the correct solution for your teeth's alignment.

Well - all I can say is "perfect, as always". Dr. Thomas and his staff take very good care of their patients. Dental work is discussed as to need and cost. When I have to have work done I know that there is a real reason for it. My hygienist is personal and attentive, with sound knowledge of her profession. I have been going there for years and would not hesitate to recommend their services.

I’ve been coming to this office for over 4 years and the entire staff here is incredible! I take my 4 year old, 9 year old and 11 year old here and I couldn’t be happier. I love how this place feels like home every time we call of walk in. We love Dr. Thomas and the front desk ladies.

Have been going to Dr Thomas for years for my dental needs. Not only do they have top notch and friendly staff, but they continue to seek best practices with more modern and tech savvy equipment. I recently had a small cavity to contend with, and with the use of the new Solea machine, what used to take more than an hour and require numbing, now took less than 20 minutes, with no numbing or medication required! Can’t say enough good things about the Thomas Family Dentistry!

Not only did Dr. Thomas take great care of my Dad who had Alzheimer making sure he was out of pain first and foremost, he also placed an implant for me and was always asking me how I was doing throughout the whole procedure. This is the kind of customer care and service I expect from a dentist and all the staff he has working with him. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a new dentist! Thank you, Diane Watkins

I've been going to Dr. Thomas' office for several years now and have always been happy with the service they provide. The entire office is friendly and professional. Today Dr. Thomas used a laser for my filling, which required no anesthesia. It was super fast and completely pain free.

Today I was the first patient to get a filling with the new Solea laser. It was an unbelievable experience, no anesthesia, no needles and absolutely no pain. If you have a aversion to needles, this is the fix for you. The procedure was also very fast. I was in and out in 30 minutes, and that was with all my questions about the laser. The staff was very good with answering all those questions.

Dr. Thomas and his team are amazing! My wife has been a patient for nearly 30 years and 10 years ago she encouraged me to visit Binu Thomas, DDS. The front desk staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. Our dental hygienist (Nichole) does an excellent job on our routine 6-month checkups - even our four-year-old daughter looks forward to each dental exam. Most recently I had to have a few cavities filled - I have always been terrified of the dental drill and lidocaine injections. A week prior to my cavity appointment, Dr. Thomas reached out to me to share the wonderful news that they had the new Solea laser available - I was floored and flooded with excitement to the point of looking forward to this amazing experience! Yes, having a cavity fixed with a laser is an amazing experience as no local anesthetic is needed - absolutely no needles and no pain. Dr. Thomas is the BEST practice around!
