Clear Aligners in San Jose

Achieve a Straighter Smile Without Braces

If you've always wanted a straighter smile but hesitated because of the thought of traditional metal braces, clear aligners offer the perfect solution. At West Valley Dental, we provide advanced clear aligner therapy that discreetly and comfortably shifts your teeth into their ideal positions.

How Clear Aligners Work

Clear aligners use a series of custom-made, transparent plastic trays to gradually move your teeth. You will wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks before progressing to the next set in the series. Because they are virtually invisible, most people won't even realize you're undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Benefits of Clear Aligner Therapy

• Discreet Appearance: The clear plastic material makes the aligners nearly invisible.
• Removable Convenience: Take your aligners out to eat, drink, brush, and floss normally.
• Enhanced Comfort: Smooth plastic means no sharp metal brackets or wires to irritate your mouth.
• Predictable Results: Advanced 3D imaging allows us to map out your entire treatment plan from start to finish.

Is Clear Aligner Therapy Right for You?

Clear aligners are highly effective for treating a variety of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. During your initial consultation, Dr. Vlad will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine if you are a good candidate for this treatment.

The Treatment Process

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation. We use digital scanners to create a precise 3D model of your mouth—no messy putty required. From there, Dr. Vlad maps out the exact movements of your teeth. You'll even get to see a digital preview of your new smile before treatment begins!

Once your custom aligners arrive, you'll wear them for 20-22 hours a day, switching to a new set every 1-2 weeks. We'll schedule brief check-ins every 6-8 weeks to monitor your progress.

Living with Clear Aligners

One of the best parts of clear aligner therapy is how easily it fits into your lifestyle. Because the trays are removable, you can continue to enjoy all your favorite foods without restriction. Maintaining your oral hygiene is just as simple—just remove the aligners to brush and floss normally.
