Clear Aligners for All Ages
Take the clear path to confidence with custom-designed clear aligners.
The perfect fit
Invisible
Clear aligners are virtually undetectable when they’re in place! No matter the type of lifestyle you live, you can go about your social and professional life confidently while undergoing clear aligner treatment.
Comfortable
Made of high-quality, flexible plastic, clear aligners have smooth, rounded edges, specially-designed to fit comfortably in your mouth without causing irritation.
Custom-designed just for you
Your aligners are custom-made just for you. Dr. Lu uses the iTero® digital scanner to create a 3D model of your teeth and bite, which is then used to custom-design each aligner. Each new set is designed to guide your teeth one step closer to their beautiful new formation.
Removable
You can remove your aligners to eat, drink, floss and brush. You can remove your aligners for special occasions too! You won’t have any dietary restrictions, and your favorite foods are still on the table.
Effective
You can start to see changes in your smile in only a few weeks of treatment! Most treatments are completed within one year, but this can vary depending on the severity of your condition and your diligence in wearing your aligners as instructed.
Convenient
If convenience and maintaining your natural smile aesthetic throughout treatment are your top priorities, clear aligners are the perfect fit.
Clear expectations: How it works
Your clear aligners will come in sets, with one custom-designed clear aligner tray for your top teeth and another tray for your bottom teeth. We provide Angel Aligner™, Invisalign® and our very own clear aligners printed in-house with our 3D printer!
You’ll wear each set of aligners for two weeks (or as long as Dr. Lu instructs) for 20 to 22 hours a day. After two weeks or so, you’ll switch your aligners out with the next set. Over time, you’ll see changes in the alignment of your teeth, and in just a few months, you’ll notice a progressively straighter, healthier smile!
With clear aligners, we can treat...
Crooked teeth and crowded teeth
Gapped teeth and spaced teeth
Malocclusions (overbite, underbite, crossbite and open bite)
Dr. Lu will check out your smile, take a quick digital scan of your teeth, and create your personalized treatment. We’ll then send your scan to the lab to design and print your first few sets of custom aligners. (We can create clear aligners in-house with our own 3D printer!)
Pop those clear aligners in, and visit us every 8-10 weeks for check-ins!
That’s it! Just bring your smile, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Flexible financing for every smile
Everyone deserves access to a premium orthodontist in their neighborhood! We offer flexible financing with 0% interest, and will create a custom plan that makes you or your child’s new smile possible.
On your first visit, we’ll calculate your insurance coverage and submit your claims to help you receive the maximum benefit from your plan, and match you with any discount opportunities.
