Straighten Your Smile Comfortably, Discreetly, and Conveniently with Clear Aligner Orthodontics
Santa Rosa Dentistry and Implant Center understands your desire to align your smile comfortably and subtly. Instead of metal braces, Dr. Wayne Sutton uses clear aligner therapy in Santa Rosa, California, to correct gapped, overcrowded, and misaligned teeth.
Clear aligners are created from transparent, thin plastic customized to fit your smile. Unlike braces permanently bonded to your teeth, our aligners are removable, allowing you to easily clean your teeth and eat all your favorite foods. It’s your teeth we want to move, not your life. Clear aligners perfect your smile without interrupting your everyday life.

What orthodontic issues can clear aligners help with?
Straight teeth aren’t just for looks—they are vital for optimal oral health and improved oral hygiene. Traditionally, patients have always used metal braces to align their smiles. While conventional braces have their place in dentistry, many patients want a more discreet and comfortable option.
Clear aligners use clear and removable customized trays to apply constant yet gentle pressure over your teeth. Clear aligners work by repositioning your teeth in small steps with movements predetermined by your dentist.
Your dentist can use clear aligners to correct numerous dental issues.
Some include:
• Crowded teeth
• Misaligned or crooked teeth
• Large gaps between teeth
• Overbites
• Underbites
• Open bites
• Crossbites
How do clear aligners work?
After your consultation with Dr. Sutton, we’ll digitally scan your teeth to create a 3D simulation of your smile. Then, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan, predicting your tooth movements in every treatment stage. Once you are happy with your treatment preview, we’ll send your digital records to our dental lab to custom-make your aligners.
Your treatment involves 18-30 aligners, depending on the complexity of your issue. Clear aligners are worn in progression. You’ll switch your aligners every two weeks, gradually moving your teeth in small stages until you achieve the desired outcome. Your aligners are also worn 20-22 hours daily. The only time you should remove your aligners is when eating or cleaning your teeth.
Clear aligners generate the desired results within 9-18 months, although milder cases need fewer months. Once you complete your treatment, we’ll give you a retainer to prevent your teeth from relapsing. When you fail to wear a retainer, your teeth will return to their old positions.
What are the benefits of clear aligners?
Here are some advantages of perfecting your smile with clear aligners.
• Discreet treatment: Clear aligners are minimally visible, allowing you to perfect your smile without drawing unnecessary attention.
• Fewer dental visits: We use advanced dental technology to program your aligners in advance. That way, you don’t need to see us frequently. We provide you with enough aligners to last you 6-8 weeks.
• Comfortable treatment: Clear aligners are customized to fit snugly over your teeth. Unlike metal braces, clear aligners don’t have sharp edges or protruding wires to irritate soft tissues. That way, clear aligner therapy provides comfortable treatment from start to finish.
• Removable convenience: The detachable nature of clear aligners allows you to clean your teeth and eat your favorite foods without limitations.
