Clear aligners are a modern and discreet orthodontic solution designed to straighten teeth effectively without the need for traditional braces. At Blissful Dental, we provide high-quality clear aligner treatments to help patients achieve beautifully aligned smiles with comfort and convenience.

Orthodontics Made Simple

Clear aligners are custom-made trays that gradually shift teeth into their desired positions. Made from smooth, transparent materials, they fit snugly over the teeth and are virtually invisible, making them an excellent choice for patients who want a more subtle orthodontic option. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are removable, allowing patients to enjoy their favorite foods and maintain their oral hygiene routines with ease.
Benefits of clear aligners include:

  • Discreet Appearance: The transparent design makes aligners nearly invisible when worn.
  • Comfortable Fit: The smooth, custom design reduces irritation to the gums and cheeks.
  • Removability: Aligners can be taken out for eating, brushing and flossing, making daily routines more convenient.
  • Effective Results: Clear aligners can address a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including crowding, gaps and misalignment.

Dr. Brenda E. Howard begins the process with a comprehensive consultation to evaluate your orthodontic needs and determine if clear aligners are the best solution for you. Using advanced technology, precise digital impressions of your teeth are taken to create a personalized treatment plan. You will receive a series of aligner trays, each designed to gradually shift your teeth closer to the desired alignment.

Regular check-ins with our dentist and team will ensure your progress stays on track.

Clear aligners are suitable for both teens and adults looking for an alternative to traditional braces. Whether you want to correct mild misalignment or address more complex orthodontic issues, our team can help.
