At Grand River Dental, we offer the latest clear aligner options for patients seeking straight, uniform teeth without the social discomfort of metal orthodontics.

What are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are transparent dental trays that gently apply pressure on your crooked teeth to move them in the desired direction for optimal alignment. They’re made of special materials that continue applying uniform and gentle pressure without wires, brackets, or other visible components. The dental trays are individually customized according to each patient’s unique oral anatomy.

Am I a Candidate for Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are ideal for correcting moderate dental issues such as mild overbites and underbites, gaps in the teeth, overcrowding, protruding teeth, and mild tooth crookedness. For issues that are severe in nature, a more complex orthodontic approach in which the jawbone is moved may be required.
Clear aligners in La Crosse is ideal for clients whose jaws have stopped expanding, so it works best for older teens and adults. These patients also exhibit the patience to follow the routine every day. The aligners need to be worn at least 22 hours a day in order to be effective. We can examine your mouth and determine your candidacy during your private consultation.
How Do Clear Aligners Work?
Clear aligners are individually constructed for you based on a digital impression of your teeth, processed via specialized software. The computer produces a step-by-step overview of your dental anatomy at every phase of the orthodontic journey. As you wear the aligners, they gently move your teeth towards the desired direction.
You have to keep changing the aligners every few weeks to continue moving your teeth towards the optimal position. The number of clear aligners you’ll need depends entirely on the condition of your teeth and your specific treatment plan. However, most patients need 25 to 40 clear aligners for optimal results.
Each aligner will take you further along in your treatment. As you move from one aligner to the next, your teeth will continue straightening more. By the time you reach the final aligner, your teeth will be perfectly aligned. You’ll have to wear retainers after the final aligner tray to maintain the results.
