The Case for Clear Aligner Treatment
Our highly trained doctors have offered clear aligner treatment as an alternative to traditional braces for many years.
At Seaport Family Dentistry, we use a digital scanner called Trios that allows us to obtain tooth anatomy without taking any impressions! Once your mouth is scanned, we have everything we need to get the ball rolling.
Then, we send your scan directly to Invisalign or ClearCorrect, and in just a few weeks your clear aligner treatment will be underway!

How do I take care of my clear aligners?
Clear aligners should be cleaned daily to keep them fresh, clear, and free of bacteria. We recommend rinsing them whenever you remove them and gently brushing them with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water. Always remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water, and store them in their protective case when not in use. Proper care helps keep your treatment on track and your aligners in good condition.
What should I do if I lose or break a clear aligner?
If an aligner is lost or damaged, contact our office as soon as possible. Depending on your stage of treatment, we may recommend wearing a previous aligner, moving to the next aligner in the series, or ordering a replacement. Continuing treatment without guidance can affect tooth movement and delay results, so it’s important to let us evaluate the situation and provide specific instructions.
Who is a good candidate for clear aligner therapy?
Clear aligners are a popular option for teens and adults with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite concerns. They are especially appealing to patients who want a discreet orthodontic solution and are committed to wearing their aligners as directed. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your smile, discuss your goals, and determine whether clear aligner therapy is the most effective treatment for your needs.
Is clear aligner therapy expensive?
The cost of clear aligner treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and the length of treatment required. Many dental insurance plans provide orthodontic benefits that may help cover a portion of the cost. For patients seeking additional flexibility, we also accept financing through CareCredit, allowing treatment expenses to be divided into convenient monthly payments. Of course, our team can review all available financial options with your family before treatment begins.
