Get The Smile You've Always Wanted

Are you dreading the potential metal mouth look? Our team is dedicated to helping you achieve the smile you’ve always dreamed of with the least dread. Clear aligners are a straightforward, effective way to straighten your teeth without sacrificing your style.

Why Choose Clear Aligners?

Say goodbye to the metal wires and brackets associated with traditional braces. Clear aligners are virtually invisible, letting you smile confidently.
Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth, minimizing discomfort and irritation; no metal wires or brackets that poke or scrape!
Enjoy an orthodontic solution that can be removed for eating and drinking, which lets you enjoy your favorite foods without worry.
Clear aligners are easier to clean than traditional braces, making it simpler to maintain good oral hygiene.

How They Work For Your Smile

You’ll have a consultation with Dr. Pauline or Dr. Howard to assess your teeth and jaw and confirm if clear aligners are the right orthodontic treatment for you.
We’ll take digital impressions of your teeth to create a model that will help guide the design of your clear aligners.
We will also use the impressions to determine the optimal placement of temporary, tooth-colored attachments required to secure your aligners—these provide additional leverage to help move your teeth more effectively and predictably.
We’ll create a personalized treatment plan that outlines the number of aligners you’ll need and the estimated duration of your treatment.
Your custom aligners will be created.
When your aligners are ready, you’ll come in for an hour long fitting appointment, during which we will place the attachments and show you how to insert and remove them properly.
You’ll start wearing them for 20-22 hours each day and apply new aligners as your treatment requires.

Compliance is Key

We understand that life gets busy, but sticking to your treatment plan is a must to see noticeable improvements. Remember, clear aligners are just as effective as traditional braces when used correctly! For the best clear aligner results, you’ll be required to wear them consistently for the recommended 20-22 hours each day.

Monitoring Your Progress

Depending on your treatment plan, you’ll likely switch to a new set of aligners every one to two weeks. We’ll advise you on the exact schedule to follow to give your smile the best alignment.

In order for your treatment to stay on track, you’ll have monthly check-up appointments with our team so we can monitor your progress, address any concerns you may have, and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

It’s Time to Redefine Your Smile

Our team is here to support you every step of the way, and we’re committed to building a relationship that is based on trust and openness. With Kindred Smiles, you can feel confident that your new smile is in good hands!
