A More Comfortable Way to Straighten Your Smile
Clear aligners offer a modern, flexible way to straighten your smile, without brackets, wires, or major changes to your routine.
Discreet
Clear aligners are designed to blend into your day, so you can feel confident at work, out with friends, and everywhere in between.
Comfortable
Each aligner is custom-made for your smile, with a smooth fit and fewer attachments for a more comfortable experience.
Designed for Real Life
You can remove your aligners to eat, brush, and floss, with no food restrictions and no major changes to your daily routine.
And with remote monitoring through OrthoFX, many check-ins can happen from home, helping reduce trips to the office while keeping your treatment on track.

Are Clear Aligners Right for Me?
If you’ve been thinking about improving your smile, clear aligners can be a simple, low-commitment way to get started.
Clear aligners can treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns for adults, including:
- Crowded or crooked teeth
- Gaps or spacing issues
- Overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite
- Shifting teeth after previous orthodontic treatment
- Bite imbalances or uneven wear
- Wanting to feel more confident in your smile
We also offer limited aligner treatment (active retainers) for patients who have experienced minor shifting after past treatment and want a simple, targeted solution.
The best way to know what’s right for you is to come in and talk with us.

The Benefits of Clear Aligners
Comfortable Fit
OrthoFX uses a revolutionary design to minimize the amount of pressure required to move the teeth and provides a noticeably more comfortable experience compared to the other aligners on the market.
Remote Monitoring
We're excited to offer remote treatment monitoring to our patients. Our team will show you how quick and easy it is to take a scan of your teeth using your smartphone. We review every scan you upload to our patient portal so you can feel confident that your treatment is progressing as expected even while you're away from our office!
Quick Results
If we detect any issues during your aligner treatment, a replacement "rescue" aligner can be mailed directly to your home which will get your teeth back on track and potentially avoid an extra appointment. Just one of the many ways we're proud to offer superb convenience and customer service to our patients!
The Clear Aligner Therapy Treatment Process
Consultation
Consultation
During your initial consultation, we'll determine if clear aligner therapy is right for you. We'll assess your oral health, looking for any signs of gaps or crowding, and ensure your gums are healthy enough for treatment. Together, we'll discuss your smile goals and craft a treatment plan that fits your needs and lifestyle.
Impressions or Digital Imaging
Impressions or Digital Imaging
Next, we’ll take precise impressions of your teeth and bite using state-of-the-art digital imaging technology. Dr. Snider will use OrthoFX’s AI-powered treatment planning software to design each aligner case personally. This advanced software ensures that every aligner is meticulously planned and customized to fit comfortably and gently guide your teeth into the desired position. Once the plans are finalized, they will be reviewed for accuracy before being sent to our trusted dental lab, where your aligners will be crafted.
Fitting & Next Steps
Fitting & Next Steps
When your clear aligners arrive, you’ll come back to our office so we can ensure they fit correctly and make any needed adjustments. We’ll give you detailed guidance on how to wear and care for your aligners. Typically, each set is worn at least 22 hours a day for 2 weeks at a time. With OrthoFX, we monitor your results virtually. You'll visit us approximately every 8-12 weeks to receive your next sets of aligners to keep your smile transformation on track.
