Clear Aligners in Sacramento, CA
A Comfortable, Invisible Way to Straighten Your Smile
Clear aligners offer a modern, discreet alternative to traditional braces. Made from smooth, transparent plastic, aligners gently guide your teeth into better alignment without brackets or wires — making them ideal for adults and teens who want a straighter smile without drawing attention to their treatment.
At Scordakis Family Dental, we create custom aligner plans designed around your goals, lifestyle, and comfort.
How Clear Aligners Work
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where our dentists evaluate your bite, spacing, and overall dental health. Using digital scans and advanced imaging, we design a series of custom aligners that fit precisely over your teeth.
Each aligner set is worn for about two weeks, gradually shifting your teeth into their ideal position. You’ll move to the next set as your smile continues to improve — all with minimal discomfort and no metal adjustments.
Clear aligners can help correct:
- Mild to moderate overcrowding
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
- Small alignment shifts
They are a great choice for patients wanting a subtle, flexible treatment option.
Why Patients Choose Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a level of comfort and convenience traditional braces can’t match. Because they’re removable, you can:
- Eat your favorite foods without restrictions
- Brush and floss normally
- Remove them for photos, events, and important moments
Their smooth design eliminates irritation to your cheeks and gums, making them comfortable for everyday wear — and because they’re nearly invisible, most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.
Clear Aligners FAQs
Have questions? We’ve got answers. Check out our frequently asked questions to find the information you need, or contact us if you need further assistance.
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Each case is different, come in for a consultation with the doctor to see what your timeline would look like.
Do I have to wear my aligners all day?
For the best results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink (anything other than water), brush, and floss.
Are clear aligners painful?
You may feel slight pressure when starting a new set, but this typically fades within a day or two. Most patients find aligners more comfortable than braces.
Can I eat while wearing my aligners?
No — aligners must be removed before eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining, warping, and buildup.
How do I clean my aligners?
Rinse them often, gently brush them with a soft toothbrush, and avoid hot water. Always store them in their case when not in use.
Am I a good candidate for clear aligners?
Clear aligners work well for mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite issues. A consultation will confirm whether they’re the right option for your smile.
