Clear Aligners in East Las Vegas.
Teeth Straightening
Straighten your teeth without metal brackets or wires. Clear aligners are discreet and removable, and they can treat many common crowding, spacing and bite problems.
More than just looks.
Straight teeth look good, but they're also easier to keep clean. Crooked or crowded teeth trap plaque in spots a toothbrush can't reach, which can lead to cavities and gum disease.
A bite that's off can also wear enamel unevenly and add to jaw pain and headaches. Straighter teeth make brushing and flossing work better.
Clear Aligners vs. Braces
Why many adults and teens choose clear aligners over traditional braces.
Hard to Spot
Clear plastic aligners are hard to see. Most people won't notice you're wearing them.
No Food Restrictions
You take them out to eat, so popcorn, apples and sticky foods are still on the menu.
No Wires to Adjust
There are no wires to tighten. You switch to the next set of aligners at home.
Are Clear Aligners Right for You?

Gaps between teeth

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
It depends on your case. Minor corrections can take as little as 3 to 6 months. Bigger bite corrections may take 12 to 18 months. We'll give you an estimated timeline at your consultation.
How many hours a day do I need to wear them?
Most treatment plans call for 20 to 22 hours a day. Take them out only to eat, to drink anything other than water, and to brush and floss.
Do clear aligners hurt?
Most people find them more comfortable than braces, since there are no metal brackets to rub your cheeks and gums. You may feel pressure or tightness for a day or two after switching to a new set. That's normal and means your teeth are moving.
How do I clean my aligners?
Brush them gently with a soft toothbrush and cool water each time you take them out. Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic. Aligner cleaning tablets a few times a week help keep them clear and fresh.
Will I need to wear a retainer after treatment?
Yes. As with braces, teeth tend to drift back toward where they started. Wearing a retainer, usually just at night, keeps your teeth where they belong.
