Aligner decision

Know whether aligners fit your teeth and your routine.

Clear aligners are not just a look choice. They work best when the tooth movement is realistic and the daily routine is something you can keep up with.

The consultation should show what needs to move, what could make treatment harder, and whether braces would do a better job for your bite.

It should also cover the practical parts: how long treatment may take, how often visits happen, what to do if a tray is lost, how eating and cleaning work, and what payment options are available.

A good plan makes the routine feel clear before trays are made, so the smile goal does not turn into one more thing to worry about.

Pick a nearby Smiley Dental & Orthodontics location, ask your questions, and review the plan before you decide.

Common questions

Questions patients ask before they book

Are clear aligners cheaper than braces?

Sometimes, but not always. Clear aligner cost depends on the bite, the number of trays, treatment length, refinements, retainers, and benefits. Ask for the full estimate before comparing it with braces.

Can clear aligners fix every case?

No. Clear aligners can work for some mild or moderate tooth movement, but severe crowding, bite problems, rotated teeth, or poor tray wear may need braces or another plan.

How many hours a day do I wear aligners?

Most clear aligner plans require wearing trays most of the day and night, except when eating, drinking anything besides water, brushing, or cleaning the trays. The team will explain the exact instructions for your case.

Does insurance cover clear aligners?

Some plans include orthodontic benefits, and some do not. Bring your insurance, Medicaid, or CHIP card so the team can review eligibility, limits, and prior authorization questions before treatment starts.

Can teens use clear aligners?

Some teens can use clear aligners when the bite fits and they can wear trays as directed. If tray wear may be hard to manage, braces may be the more predictable option.
