A Discreet, Comfortable Way to Straighten Your Smile
Whether you’re an adult seeking a professional smile boost or a teen looking for an alternative to traditional braces, our custom-designed orthodontic aligners make it easier than ever to align your teeth on your terms. Our experienced dentists—including Dr. Michelle Saunders, Dr. Justin Anderson, Dr. Lesley R. Nellor, and Dr. Daniel Davis—will guide your treatment from start to finish with personalized care and state-of-the-art technology
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a series of removable, transparent trays that gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Each set is worn for 1–2 weeks, gently guiding your teeth into place over time.
Benefits of choosing aligners over traditional braces include:
- Virtually invisible appearance
- Removable for eating, brushing, and special occasions
- No dietary restrictions
- Smooth, comfortable material (no metal wires or brackets)
- Fewer in-office visits
At Jayhawk Dental, we offer custom aligner systems tailored to your specific smile goals and timeline.
Who Can Benefit from Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners can treat a wide range of mild to moderate orthodontic issues, such as:
- Crowded or crooked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- Mild jaw misalignment
- Relapse after previous braces
During your consultation, we’ll assess your bite, alignment, and smile goals to determine if clear aligners are the right choice for you or your teen.
Our Clear Aligner Process
We combine personalized planning and advanced dental technology to ensure a seamless treatment experience:
1. Consultation
We’ll evaluate your smile, take digital scans (no messy impressions!), and discuss your goals and treatment options.
2. Custom Treatment Plan
Using 3D modeling software, we’ll map out your tooth movements and preview your future smile.
3. Aligner Fabrication
Your series of aligner trays are custom-made and delivered to our office. Each set is worn for about 1–2 weeks, depending on your plan.
4. Monitoring Progress
We’ll schedule periodic check-ins to track progress and make any necessary adjustments.
5. Retention
Once your treatment is complete, we’ll fit you for a retainer to help maintain your results long-term.
Clear Aligners for Adults & Teens
One of the best features of clear braces for adults and teens is flexibility. With aligners, you can continue your daily routine with minimal interruption—no food restrictions, no braces showing in photos, and no brackets to break during sports or activities.
We provide detailed instructions for wear and care to ensure successful outcomes and a comfortable experience.

How long does treatment with clear aligners take?
Most cases are completed in 6–18 months, depending on complexity. We’ll give you a personalized timeline during your consultation.

You may feel mild pressure when switching to a new tray, but aligners are generally more comfortable than metal braces.

Are clear aligners covered by insurance?
