Clear Aligners at Arlington Dental Associates

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, removable trays that gradually shift your teeth into the ideal position. Made from smooth, virtually invisible plastic, they offer a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces.

Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next in the series. Over the course of treatment, your teeth gently move into alignment — with no brackets, no wires, and no disruption to your daily life.

At Arlington Dental Associates, your clear aligner treatment is supervised by experienced dentists who monitor your progress and ensure optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about clear aligners at Arlington Dental Associates

Most patients complete treatment in 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of their case. Dr. Zulawinski will give you a personalized timeline during your consultation based on your specific needs.

Most patients feel mild pressure when switching to a new set of aligners, which is a sign your teeth are moving. This typically subsides within a day or two. Clear aligners are generally much more comfortable than traditional braces.

For best results, aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. You remove them only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush and floss your teeth.

Both are dentist-directed clear aligner systems that produce excellent results. Invisalign uses patented SmartTrack material and treats a wide range of cases including complex ones. CandidPro offers AI-powered treatment planning with remote monitoring, meaning fewer in-office visits. Dr. Zulawinski can recommend the best option for your specific case during a consultation.

Many dental insurance plans cover clear aligners the same way they cover traditional braces. Our team will help you understand your benefits and maximize your coverage. We also offer flexible financing through CareCredit and Sunbit.

Yes! Invisalign offers a teen-specific option with compliance indicators that show whether the aligners are being worn enough. It's a popular choice for teens who want to straighten their teeth without the look and restrictions of metal braces.
