Much like other popular aligners, SMILE-FX Aligners are clear, removable, and nearly invisible when worn.

Clear Aligners for Kids
Clear aligners are a perfect choice for early orthodontic treatment, typically recommended for children between the ages of seven and ten. At this stage, their teeth and jaw are still developing, making it an ideal time to address potential issues such as misalignment, crowding, or bite problems. By starting treatment early, we can prevent more complex dental issues from developing later on, often reducing the need for more intensive treatment in the future.
Clear aligners for kids offer several key advantages:
- Comfortable & Gentle: Made from smooth, flexible material, aligners won’t irritate gums or cheeks like traditional braces.
- Removable: Aligners can be taken out for eating, brushing, and flossing, making it easier for kids to maintain good oral hygiene.
- Discreet: Clear aligners are nearly invisible, so kids can smile confidently without feeling self-conscious during treatment.
- Convenient: With fewer in-office visits and no need for adjustments like traditional braces, aligners fit into busy family schedules with ease.
By integrating clear aligners into an early orthodontic treatment plan, we can guide your child’s dental development in a way that is comfortable, convenient, and effective — setting them up for a lifetime of healthy, beautiful smiles.
Clear Aligners For Teens
Teen years can be challenging, and we know that sometimes the thought of braces can add to that challenge. That’s why we offer clear aligners for teens, a modern, discreet way to straighten teeth while maintaining confidence. Designed to fit seamlessly into your teen’s active lifestyle, clear aligners offer a comfortable and nearly invisible solution for a perfect smile — without the metal brackets and wires.
Clear aligners for teens are a popular choice for orthodontic care because they provide the freedom and flexibility that traditional braces can’t. Here’s why teens love them:
- Discreet Appearance: Made from transparent material, aligners are virtually invisible, allowing teens to feel confident in social settings without worrying about the appearance of their smile.
- Comfortable & Removable: Unlike braces, aligners have no rough edges or wires that can cause discomfort. Plus, they can be easily removed for eating, brushing, flossing, or special occasions like sports or school events.
- Fewer Restrictions: With clear aligners, teens don’t have to avoid certain foods like popcorn, gum, or sticky candy. They can eat whatever they like by simply removing their aligners during meals.
- Easy to Maintain: Clear aligners make it easier to maintain proper oral hygiene since they can be removed for brushing and flossing, reducing the risk of cavities and gum issues that can sometimes occur with braces.
Clear aligners are designed to fit into a busy teen’s schedule. With fewer in-office visits needed for adjustments and no emergency appointments for broken brackets, treatment is more convenient than ever. Plus, many clear aligner options come with wear indicators that help ensure your teen stays on track with their treatment, promoting accountability and quicker results.
Clear Aligners For Adults
At SMILE-FX, we understand that as an adult, you may want to improve your smile without the noticeable appearance and inconvenience of braces. That’s why we offer clear aligners for adults, a discreet and comfortable way to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted — perfect for busy professionals, parents, or anyone looking to straighten their teeth without drawing attention.
Clear aligners are particularly effective for adults who have minor alignment issues or have experienced some shifting of their teeth after previous orthodontic treatment. Whether it’s a slightly crooked tooth, minor crowding, or small gaps, aligners can offer a short, efficient treatment plan to correct these issues quickly.
For many adult cases, treatment can be completed in as little as six months, depending on the complexity of the case. This makes clear aligners an excellent option for those looking for fast results without committing to lengthy orthodontic care.
If you’ve been considering improving your smile but have been hesitant due to the visibility or commitment of traditional braces, clear aligners offer a flexible and effective solution that fits into your lifestyle while delivering fast, reliable results.
Clear Aligners FAQ
Clear aligners work by applying gentle, controlled pressure to specific teeth, gradually shifting them into better alignment. You’ll wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks before moving to the next set in the series. Over time, this process will move your teeth into their ideal positions, giving you a straighter smile. And with aligners like the NiTime™ aligners through OrthoFX, you only need to wear your aligners at night!
For the best results, all full-time aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours a day, only removing them to eat, drink (anything other than water), brush, and floss. Wearing them consistently ensures that your treatment progresses as planned and helps you achieve your desired results on time.
Clear aligners are effective for many common orthodontic issues, including mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and misalignment. However, more complex cases, such as severe bite issues, may require braces or other orthodontic solutions. During your consultation at SMILE-FX, we’ll assess your specific needs and let you know if aligners would be the best option for your lifestyle.
It’s best to remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. Eating with aligners in can damage them, and certain foods and drinks can stain the aligners. Always make sure to brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in to prevent food particles from getting trapped.
If you lose or damage an aligner, it’s important to contact your orthodontist immediately. In some cases, you may be instructed to wear your previous set while a replacement is made, or you may be advised to move on to the next set depending on your progress. Always keep your aligners in a protective case when they’re not in use to avoid misplacing them.
Both clear aligners and braces are effective at straightening teeth, but the right choice depends on your unique case and lifestyle preferences. Clear aligners are discreet, removable, and often more comfortable, making them a great choice for those who prefer a less noticeable treatment. However, some complex orthodontic cases may be better suited to braces. Your orthodontist will help you decide which option is best for you.
Yes — clear aligners can effectively treat many mild to moderate bite issues, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. The success of treatment depends on the severity of the case and your commitment to wearing the aligners as prescribed. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your bite and determine if clear aligners are the right solution for you.
