Why Choose Clear Aligners at Clawson Orthodontics?

Clear aligners are a series of transparent, removable trays designed to shift your teeth just like traditional braces. These aligners can be taken out for eating, brushing, and flossing, making them a convenient and discreet option.

For the best results, aligners must be worn for 22 hours per day. At Clawson Orthodontics, we are proud to offer Spark, and in-office custom aligners. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the best option tailored to your individual orthodontic needs.

Our Clear Aligner Treatment Options

Not interested in traditional braces?

Clear aligners are an excellent alternative! Our preferred system, Spark, can address the majority of orthodontic cases. These aligners are removable, making oral hygiene much easier to maintain compared to braces.

Achieving great results with aligners requires wearing them consistently and following the recommended 22-hour daily wear schedule. Our top choice for most orthodontic cases, Spark aligners provide a discreet and effective solution to align your teeth.

Custom In-Office Aligners

For patients with minor alignment issues or small shifts, we offer custom aligners created in our office. These aligners are an affordable option for minor corrections while still being guided by Dr. Richard Bruno’s expertise.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I need to wear my clear aligners each day?2026-06-04T13:17:12+00:00

For clear aligners to effectively move your teeth, they must be worn for 22 hours per day. They should only be removed when eating, drinking anything other than clear water, brushing, or flossing.

What brand of clear aligners do you use at your practice?2026-06-04T13:17:34+00:00

We primarily offer two distinct treatment pathways depending on your goals. For comprehensive smile corrections, we prefer Spark Aligners. For minor cosmetic shifts or minor relapse corrections, we produce affordable in-office custom aligners.

Are clear aligners as effective as traditional braces?2026-06-04T13:17:56+00:00

For the majority of patients, yes. Modern advanced clear aligner materials can correct complex crowding and bite issues just like standard braces. Dr. Bruno will determine which option is best suited for your structural alignment during your initial consultation.

Do clear aligners cause a speech impediment or lisp?2026-06-04T13:18:12+00:00

You may notice a very slight lisp during the first few days of wearing a new tray as your tongue adjusts to the plastic. This is completely temporary and usually disappears within 48 to 72 hours.

Can teens wear clear aligners, or are they only for adults?2026-06-04T13:18:34+00:00

Teens are fantastic candidates for aligners! We offer clear trays with compliance indicators to ensure they are being worn long enough. However, if you worry about your child losing their trays, our custom LightForce fixed braces are an excellent alternative.
