Clear Aligner Therapy at LifeTime Smiles
At LifeTime Smiles, we understand the importance of a beautiful, functional smile. That’s why we offer advanced clear aligner therapy, including the highly popular Invisalign system, to correct various dental alignment issues. Our practice in Haymarket combines state-of-the-art technology with personalized care to ensure that you receive the most effective and discreet orthodontic treatment available today.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are an innovative orthodontic solution designed to straighten teeth without the wires and brackets associated with traditional braces. These custom-made, transparent plastic trays fit snugly over your teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position. Clear aligners are not only virtually invisible but also removable, offering a flexible and less intrusive alternative to metal braces.
The Benefits of Clear Aligners
The benefits of choosing clear aligner therapy at LifeTime Smiles include:
- Aesthetics: One of the most appealing aspects of clear aligners is their invisibility. Most people won’t even notice you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment, making it a perfect choice for adults and teens who are self-conscious about wearing braces.
- Comfort: Without metal brackets or wires, clear aligners offer a more comfortable fit. Each aligner is custom-made to fit your teeth, reducing irritation and discomfort often associated with traditional braces.
- Convenience: Clear aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush, and floss with ease. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene throughout your orthodontic treatment.
- Effectiveness: For a wide range of alignment issues, clear aligners can be as effective as traditional braces. They are particularly adept at correcting mild to moderate cases of overcrowding, gaps, and certain bite irregularities.

Treatment Process with Invisalign
Invisalign is a leading brand of clear aligners and a popular choice among our patients at LifeTime Smiles. Here’s what you can expect during your Invisalign treatment process:
- Consultation: The first step is a detailed consultation with our skilled dentists. We use advanced imaging technology to assess your dental structure and discuss whether Invisalign is the right choice for you.
- Customization: If you are a good candidate for Invisalign, we proceed with creating a customized treatment plan. Using 3D computer imaging technology, Invisalign crafts a series of aligners tailored to shift your teeth into the proper alignment gradually.
- Treatment: You will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before switching to the next set in the series. It’s important to wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day for optimal results.
- Follow-Up Visits: Throughout your treatment, you’ll have periodic check-ups at our office to monitor progress and make any adjustments to the treatment plan as necessary.
- Results: Treatment duration varies by individual but typically lasts between 12 to 18 months. After completing the treatment, you will need to wear a retainer to maintain your new smile’s position.
Caring for Your Clear Aligners
Maintaining your clear aligners is crucial to the success of your treatment and the health of your teeth. To ensure your aligners stay clean and functional, it’s important to rinse them under lukewarm water every time you remove them. This helps wash away saliva and plaque that can lead to dental issues. Brushing your aligners gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste can keep them clear of any buildup.
Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. Additionally, it’s essential to maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing and flossing your teeth before reinserting your aligners. This prevents food particles from getting trapped, which can cause decay and unpleasant odors. For deep cleaning, consider using aligner cleaning solutions or tablets once a week to eliminate any lingering bacteria.
