What are OrthoFX clear aligners?

OrthoFX clear aligners are doctor-driven almost transparent aligners featuring cutting-edge polymer plastic for enhanced comfort. A series of aligners, each shaped slightly differently to guide your teeth into alignment over time.

Since the aligners are removable and comfortable - they won’t get in the way of work or important events. As long as you wear your aligners for the recommended 22 hours a day, you can take them out for special events, meal times, regular brushing and flossing.

What to expect with OrthoFX® treatment

OrthoFX® treatment is a convenient and comfortable smile solution! Here’s what you can expect:

Consultation: During your free consultation, our orthodontist will examine your teeth and prescribe a personalized treatment plan based on your smile needs. We will present affordable pricing and easy financing options and we will work with you to create a customized payment plan that fits your budget.
Customization: Should you decide to get treatment, we will begin by taking digital scans of your teeth to develop your first set of aligners to be made according to your customized treatment plan by our orthodontic specialist.
Treatment start and process: At the start of treatment, temporary, tooth colored “attachments” are bonded to some of your teeth. These attachments facilitate and speed up the required movements. You’ll receive your first set of aligners and wear them each week. Clear elastics may be needed with aligners to improve the bite during treatment. As you move to the next set of aligners in the series, your teeth will gradually move until they are shaped into the desired position. Remember to schedule your routine checkups with your family dentist. It is recommended that you continue to visit the dentist every six months, even while wearing aligners.
Treatment maintenance: Once we’ve achieved your simply spectacular smile! We will remove the small, temporary, tooth-colored attachments and give you a set of custom retainers to maintain it. A clear, removable upper retainer worn 10-12 hours at night and a lower bonded retainer to the back of the six lower front teeth, making it impossible for others to see.
