What Are Clear Aligners and How Do They Work?
Clear aligners for teeth such as the well-known brand Invisalign® are digitally designed, clear plastic trays that gently move your teeth into their ideal positions programmed by Dr Boss. They are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, they offer a comfortable fit without irritating your cheeks or gums.
Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are removable, letting you enjoy your favorite foods and maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout the treatment process. Instead of having brackets and wires moving your teeth, the removable clear aligners gradually move your teeth to their ideal position as you move forward in your series of of clear aligner trays. Each subsequent aligner is gently moving the teeth to towards their destination. Clear aligners can be a great solution for teens and adults who want to straighten their teeth and improve their bites, but do not braces.
Clear Aligner Treatment Before & Afters
Invisalign & Clear Aligner Process
Free Consultation
Your dream smile journey begins with a FREE 1-hour consultation. We want to hear all about your smile goals. We will review your medical/dental history, take photographs, 3D x-rays, and a 3D scan of your teeth. Drs ReAnn & Hunter Boss (Board Certified Orthodontists) will learn more about you and review your records and determine if Invisalign®/ Clear Aligner treatment will help you to achieve your smile goals . The team will review your estimated insurance benefits, customized treatment fee with our flexible-designed-by-you Zero % interest financing plan.
Custom Treatment Plan
Using our advanced 3D technology, we create a personalized clear aligner treatment plan for you based on your goals reviewed at your consultation. We then sequence the planned movement into stages so that each aligner is moving your teeth towards the smile of your dreams. We then submit your aligners for manufacturing. On average, our patients will have 2-4 sets of aligners during their treatment to help achieve optimal esthetics and function.
Receiving Your Aligners
Once the aligners arrive to our office, our team performs additional quality checks. Then, it’s time to schedule your aligner bonding visit! We reserve 1.5 hours for this visit to place any tooth attachments (customized tooth-colored bumps that are placed on the teeth to help the clear aligners grip the smooth slippery tooth surfaces of the teeth). We take time to review proper insertion and removal techniques, cleaning and how to help you get the most from your aligner treatment.
Wearing Your Aligners
For optimal results, you’ll need to wear your aligners for 20–22 hours daily. Remove them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Be sure to clean your teeth before reinserting your aligners- this keeps your aligners clean and clear and helps prevent cavities!
Check-ups
One advantage of Invisalign/ Clear Aligner treatment is that checkup appointments can be quick and spaced out so that you do not have to take too much time away from your busy schedule. On average, our patients have visits to our office every 8-12 weeks. We will schedule visits at critical times to make sure your clear aligner treatment is smooth and efficient. We may make adjustments as needed to your plan and provide additional sets of aligners until you reach your smile goals.
Retainers
Once we have achieved your smile goals, we will remove the aligner attachments and make final records- photos, x-rays and a 3D scan of your teeth. To preserve your results, you’ll need to wear clear retainers, which prevents teeth from shifting. Retainers are to be worn 24/7 for 3 months then NIGHTTIME for LIFETIME. We like to provide our patients a complementary back up set of retainers so that you can preserve that BOSS Smile!

Tooth Shape and Proportion
We take pride in offering tooth edge contouring to enhance symmetry and aesthetics, creating a more polished and balanced smile. If restorative dentistry is needed, we’ll discuss your options during your consultation and throughout treatment to ensure the best possible outcome for you and your smile.
Lost Aligner
We leverage advanced technology to make your orthodontic experience as convenient as possible. Your aligner accidentally get thrown away at a restaurant? No problem! With our in-office 3D printer, we can quickly produce a replacement aligner for the exact stage you’re in. This means no waiting 1-2 weeks for a new aligner to be shipped from the factory, reducing treatment delays and keeping your progress on track.
Broad, Bold Smiles and Smile Arc
We work within the limits of healthy bone and tissue to create a broad, full smile that enhances your facial aesthetics. Our treatment plans always take the smile arc into account, ensuring the edges of your teeth naturally follow the contour of your lower lip, a hallmark of a truly beautiful smile.
Inclusive Refinements
Our comprehensive clear aligner treatment plans include additional refinements to ensure your smile is perfect. We’ll provide extra sets of aligners as needed to achieve your smile goals, with no compromises along the way.
Active Retainers
We are perfectionists and, when desired, use active retainers after completing active treatment and removing clear aligner attachments to fine-tune and perfect your smile using only retainers, without the need for additional attachments.
Two Sets of Retainers
At Boss Orthodontics, we include two sets of retainers with your treatment, giving you added peace of mind. If something happens to one set, you’ll already have a backup ready to go.
Retainer Follow Up Appointments

Additional Clear Aligner Options at Boss Orthodontics
Hybrid Treatment
For many adults and teens who desire quick and discreet orthodontics, hybrid treatment is ideal. It combines the best attributes of self-ligating braces and clear aligners. This involves using self-ligating braces for up to six months to rapidly unravel crowding, broaden the arch, improve smile arc, and do most of the heavy lifting. After the self-ligating braces work their magic, braces are removed, and we do the fine-tuning with our clear aligners. Hybrid treatment allows us to correct your teeth much faster than with just aligners alone.
The In-Office Aligner Advantage
We offer the latest 3D technology for our patients' aligner treatment. This technology allows us the advantage to both order your aligners traditionally using a manufacturing facility (Ulab) or print those same aligners in-office using our 3D printer and aligner fabrication machinery. This gives us great flexibility so that you’ll be on your way to your BOSS Smile much sooner- no waiting for the back and forth process with typical outside labs, manufacturing, and shipping delays.
How Else does this benefit you? Aligner gets thrown away at a restaurant? Unlike most offices that orders a replacement which may arrive weeks later, we can print the same aligner in office and get it to you as soon as same or next business day. No delays in treatment!
In most orthodontic offices, it typically takes 4-6 weeks to get your clear aligners back from the lab to get started with treatment. Our aligners typically arrive in just 2-3 weeks. However, with our high-tech software and equipment, we can get started much faster if they want to (sometimes in just days). We upload the 3D scan of your teeth into our virtual software and we plan out your tooth and bite movements in every aligner. This technology is truly a game changer.
Clear Aligner Benefits vs. Braces
Clear aligners offer many potential benefits over traditional braces treatment. Here are a just a few ways clear aligners making your smile journey easier.
Removable
Clear aligners can be removed easily when you eat, drink, clean your teeth, and special occasions. This allows you the flexibility to eat what you want without worry of breaking a bracket and makes it easier to maintain excellent oral hygiene during treatment.
Discreet
Clear aligners make orthodontic treatment less noticeable. Most people won't even notice you're are wearing them allowing you to smile confidently throughout the process.
Customized
Clear aligner treatment plans are digitally designed by Dr Boss. This allows them to precisely position and program tooth movements during the course of treatment to get your that perfect smile.
Few Appointments
Clear aligners generally have less frequent office visits and emergencies than braces. This means less time taken away from your already busy schedule.
Benefits of Aligned teeth and Bites
Enhanced Oral Hygiene
Straight teeth are easier to clean, making brushing and flossing more effective while improving overall oral and periodontal health. Proper alignment prevents food from getting trapped, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease, helping you maintain healthy teeth and gums for a lifetime.
Elevate Your Smile’s Aesthetic
Properly aligned teeth create a more balanced, attractive smile by eliminating gaps and crowding, enhancing both health and appearance.
Better Bites
An aligned bite allows your upper and lower teeth to fit together seamlessly, improving chewing functionality and reducing the risk of premature wear, damage, or discomfort.
Improved Self-Confidence
A beautiful smile can boost your self-esteem, empowering you to show off your newfound confidence with pride.
Aligners vs. Braces- Are Aligners Right for You?
The biggest difference between braces and clear aligners, such as Invisalign, is how they work. Braces are bonded to the teeth and continuously apply pressure to move them into place. In contrast, clear aligners are removable and only work effectively when worn consistently for at least 22 hours a day, seven days a week.
We often ask our patients: Are you someone who thrives with routines, stays consistent, and is responsible? If so, clear aligners might be an excellent alternative to braces. On the other hand, some patients prefer a more hands-off approach, where the primary focus is maintaining clean braces, teeth, and gums.
