Clear Aligners at Atlanta Dental Center

Clear aligners are custom-made, see-through trays that fit snugly over your teeth and shift them gradually toward a straighter position. You wear each set for about two weeks before moving to the next, and because the trays are removable, you take them out to eat, brush, and floss—then simply pop them back in.

  • Nearly invisible—most people won’t notice you’re wearing them
  • Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing
  • Comfortable smooth plastic with no brackets or wires
  • Custom-planned for a smile that fits you

Who Clear Aligners Are For

Clear aligners are an excellent choice for teens and adults looking to correct crowding, gaps, and many bite issues without traditional braces.

  • Crowded Teeth Gently create room and align teeth that overlap or twist.

Clear Aligners FAQ

What are clear aligners?
Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent trays that gradually straighten your teeth without metal brackets or wires.
What’s the difference between Invisalign and Candid Pro?
Both straighten teeth with clear trays. Invisalign is fully doctor-managed in-office and handles simple to complex cases, while Candid Pro is a doctor-directed system that adds convenient remote monitoring with fewer visits. We’ll help you choose at your consultation.
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Most treatments take about 6 to 18 months, depending on how much movement your smile needs.
Are clear aligners comfortable?
Yes. The smooth plastic trays have no brackets or wires, so most people find them far more comfortable than traditional braces.
How often do I wear them?
For best results, wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
Will aligners affect my speech?
You may notice a slight lisp for a day or two as you adjust, but it quickly fades as you get used to wearing them.
Can teenagers use clear aligners?
Yes. Clear aligners are a popular choice for responsible teens as well as adults.
Do I need to wear a retainer afterward?
Yes. A retainer keeps your teeth in their new position and protects your results for the long term.
How do I know which system is right for me?
Schedule a consultation and we’ll evaluate your smile, discuss your goals and lifestyle, and recommend the aligner system that fits you best.
