Wondering if clear aligners can help you straighten your teeth. Take our quick 2-minute quiz to see if clear aligners at Peak Dentistry is a good fit for your goals and lifestyle.
At Peak Dentistry, your clear aligners treatment is planned with digital scans and advanced imaging instead of messy impressions and guesswork. You see a clear preview of your future smile before you start, and your visits are quick, with evening and Saturday times that fit real life.
You see the same dentist, Dr. Stevan Djordjevic, from start to finish. He listens to what you want, explains each step in simple terms, and builds a plan that matches your goals, budget, and timeline so you always feel in control.
Our clear aligners are smooth, removable, and nearly invisible, and your appointments happen in a calm, comfortable office with amenities that help you relax. Whether you are fixing long-term crowding or making a small cosmetic change, you can come as you are—no lectures, just solutions that help you feel proud of your smile.
When teeth overlap or feel “stacked,” they can be harder to clean and more likely to trap plaque. Clear aligners can gently create more ideal spacing so your teeth look straighter and are easier to brush and floss.
If you have spaces between teeth that make you feel self-conscious or affect your bite, clear aligners can help close those gaps over time.
If your top front teeth overlap your bottom front teeth more than they should, clear aligners can often reduce that overlap. This can help with wear, comfort, and appearance.
When some upper teeth bite inside lower teeth, or your bite feels off, clear aligners can often guide teeth into a more balanced position. A healthier bite can reduce uneven wear and stress on your jaw.
The clear plastic trays are hard to see in day-to-day life. You can straighten your teeth at work, school, or social events without drawing attention to your treatment.
You take the aligners out for meals, brushing, and flossing. That means no food restrictions and no special tools to clean around brackets and wires. Your normal brushing and flossing routine stays simple.
The aligners are smooth and do not have metal parts that rub or poke. You may feel light pressure when you switch to a new set, but it usually fades within a day or two.
With digital scans, clear timelines, and evening and Saturday hours, Clear Aligners at Peak Dentistry is built to fit busy schedules. You get modern, tech-forward care with a dentist who explains each step so you know what to expect.
Your clear aligners journey starts with a one-on-one visit with Dr. Djordjevic. He will ask about your goals, examine your teeth and bite, and take digital scans with our intraoral scanner instead of messy impression trays.
Those scans create a 3D model of your teeth. From there, we map out how your teeth will move and show you a preview of your expected results before you commit to treatment.
Using your digital plan, a series of clear aligners is made just for you. Each set is slightly different, gently guiding your teeth step by step.
You wear each set of aligners for about one to two weeks, 20–22 hours per day. You remove them only to eat, drink anything besides water, brush, and floss.
Most patients find the trays smooth and easy to get used to. People around you usually cannot tell you are wearing them.
You will visit Peak Dentistry every six to eight weeks so Dr. Djordjevic can check your progress and give you your next sets of aligners. These visits are usually quick and designed to fit your schedule.
When treatment is complete, we provide custom retainers to help keep your teeth in their new positions. We will walk you through how often to wear them so your new smile lasts.
We designed our office to feel calm and welcoming. Settle in with wireless headphones, cozy blankets, and warm towels so you can relax during your visit.
We explain your treatment options and pricing in clear language. You always know what to expect, and we leave time for your questions at every visit.
You are never just a chart. We listen to your goals, consider your lifestyle and budget, and build a custom plan to help you feel confident about your smile.
From a child’s first visit to routine checkups for seniors, we care for every stage of life. Our gentle, friendly team makes dental visits a positive experience for your whole family.
We use an intraoral scanner to take 3D digital images of your teeth instead of traditional impression trays. In many cases, we also use advanced imaging like CBCT to plan more complex cases. This technology helps create precise aligners and lets you see a preview of your new smile before you start.
After treatment, you will wear retainers to keep your teeth from shifting back. At first, that usually means more hours per day, and then you move to wearing them mainly at night. We will give you clear instructions so your new smile stays stable.
Most clear aligners patients come in every six to eight weeks. These visits are short and allow us to confirm that everything is on track and make small adjustments if needed. With our evening and Saturday hours, it is easier to fit these appointments into your schedule.
Yes. Clear aligners is often a good choice for responsible teens who want a more discreet way to straighten their teeth. It works well for many teen cases, and the removable design is helpful for sports, band, and photos. We will evaluate your teen and talk about whether they are likely to wear the aligners as needed.
Clear aligners can treat many issues, including crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. The best way to know is to schedule a consultation at Peak Dentistry. Dr. Djordjevic will examine your teeth, review your goals, and recommend the option that makes the most sense for you.
Rinse your aligners with lukewarm water and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush. You can use clear, mild soap or aligner cleaning products if recommended. Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic. Clean them each time you brush your teeth to keep them clear and fresh.
You should remove your aligners to eat and to drink anything other than plain water. This helps prevent staining and damage to the trays. You can still enjoy all your favorite foods—just take the aligners out, eat, brush, and put them back in.
The cost depends on how complex your case is and how many aligners you need. At your consultation, we will review your goals, design a plan, and give you a clear estimate before you decide. We accept PPO insurance plans and offer financing options, and many plans include orthodontic benefits that can help with clear aligners.
Clear aligners is usually very comfortable. You may feel mild pressure for a day or two each time you switch to a new set of aligners; that is a sign your teeth are moving. There are no brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks or gums.
Most patients finish treatment in about 12 to 18 months. Some cases are shorter and some take longer, depending on how much movement is needed and how closely the aligners are worn as directed. We will give you a personalized timeline at your consultation.
