Where Our Family Takes Care of Yours

Clear Aligners We Offer

Clear aligners are one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth today—and for good reason. They’re virtually invisible, removable, and custom-designed to guide your smile into perfect alignment without the brackets and wires of traditional braces. At Gibson Orthodontics, we offer a variety of clear aligner systems to give you the freedom to choose what fits best with your lifestyle, treatment goals, and budget.

Whether you’re a busy professional, a self-conscious teen, or an adult returning to orthodontics, clear aligners can offer a more flexible and discreet path to the smile you’ve always wanted.

Why patients love clear aligners:

  • Nearly invisible while worn
  • Removable for eating, brushing, and special occasions
  • Smooth and comfortable with no metal components
  • Fewer in-office visits for adjustments
  • Easy to keep clean for better oral hygiene

From mild crowding to more complex bite issues, clear aligners can treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns—often just as effectively as braces, especially when supervised by a board-certified orthodontist like Dr. Matt.

Clear Aligners for Kids

Clear Aligners for Kids

While braces are often the go-to solution for younger children, clear aligners are becoming a great option for select kids in need of early (Phase 1) orthodontic treatment. At Gibson Orthodontics, we carefully evaluate each child’s smile to determine if clear aligners can safely and effectively guide early jaw development and tooth alignment.

For the right child, clear aligners offer a gentle, comfortable alternative to braces—with fewer dietary restrictions and an easier hygiene routine. Because they’re removable, kids can brush, floss, and eat with minimal disruption, which helps them maintain good habits and oral health throughout treatment.

What parents love:

  • Removable design makes cleaning easier
  • Smooth, comfortable aligners reduce irritation
  • Fewer emergency visits (no broken brackets or wires)
  • Great for responsible kids who can follow instructions

Clear aligners aren’t the best fit for every child, but under the guidance of Dr. Matt, we’ll help you decide what’s best for your growing smile—whether that’s early aligners, braces, or simply continued observation.

Clear Aligners for Teens

Clear Aligners for Teens

For image-conscious teens who want a discreet way to improve their smile, clear aligners can be a game-changer. At Gibson Orthodontics, we offer several aligner systems that fit seamlessly into a teen’s busy life—whether they’re in class, at practice, or taking selfies with friends.

Aligners offer teens the flexibility to remove them for meals, school photos, or big events, while still delivering excellent results under Dr. Matt’s expert supervision. And with fewer in-office adjustments needed, treatment stays on track with less interruption to their routine.

Why teens (and parents) love clear aligners:

  • Virtually invisible for a confident smile during treatment
  • Removable for sports, performances, and special occasions
  • No food restrictions = no missing out
  • Easier brushing and flossing compared to braces

Clear Aligners

Clear Aligners FAQ

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, removable trays that gradually shift your teeth into alignment. Each set is worn for about 1–2 weeks, applying gentle pressure to move your teeth over time. Under Dr. Matt’s supervision, your smile is carefully guided to its ideal position—without the brackets and wires of traditional braces.

Yes—for many patients, clear aligners are just as effective as braces. They can treat mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and bite issues. For more complex cases, clear aligners may be combined with other appliances or attachments. Dr. Matt will let you know if you’re a good candidate and create a personalized treatment plan that delivers strong results.

For best results, aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. You’ll remove them only to eat, drink (anything other than water), brush, and floss. Consistency is key to keeping your treatment on track and achieving the results you want.

Yes! Clear aligners are made from smooth, flexible material that fits snugly over your teeth. While you may feel some pressure when switching to a new set (a sign that they’re working), most patients find them much more comfortable than braces, with no wires or brackets to irritate the mouth.

Yes—in many cases! We offer clear aligner options for kids, teens, and adults, and we’ll help determine if they’re the right choice during your consultation. Teens often love the discreet look and convenience, and some kids may be candidates for aligners during early (Phase 1) treatment if they’re responsible enough to wear them consistently.

Don’t worry—it happens! If you misplace a tray, call our office right away. Depending on where you are in your treatment, Dr. Matt may advise you to move on to the next set or temporarily go back to the previous one. Quick communication helps keep your progress on track.

You should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything except water. This prevents staining, warping, and damage. After eating, it’s important to brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in to keep them clean and clear.

Rinse your aligners with cool water and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush (no toothpaste). You can also use special aligner cleaning crystals or solutions recommended by our team. Keeping your aligners clean helps them stay invisible—and your smile healthy.

Cost varies based on the aligner system used and the complexity of your case. At Gibson Orthodontics, we offer multiple clear aligner options to fit a range of budgets, along with flexible payment plans and insurance coordination. We’ll walk you through all your options during your free consultation—no pressure, no surprises.
