In the pursuit of a stunning smile, many individuals are turning to the wonders of modern orthodontics. Clear aligners have emerged as a revolutionary option in teeth straightening, offering a comfortable and discreet alternative to traditional braces.
Arsmiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry is proud to offer clear aligners as an orthodontic treatment. Read on for everything you need to know.
What are Clear Aligners?
Clear Aligners are a teeth-straightening treatment that works by gently shifting your teeth into their desired position. Unlike traditional braces, these aligners don’t rely on brackets and wires, instead, they consist of a series of transparent trays.
Here are some key points about clear aligners:
The Comfort and Discretion of Clear Aligners
One of the standout features of clear aligners is their discretion and comfort. Unlike traditional braces that are quite noticeable, clear aligners are virtually invisible when worn. This makes them popular among individuals who prefer a more discreet orthodontic solution.
Moreover, clear aligners are remarkably comfortable and do not cause any irritation to the mouth or gums.

I am so happy to have found this office! I usually shy away from visiting the dentist but finally decided to find a new office and get checked out. The staff made me feel comfortable during the whole appointment and explained their process, their findings and suggestions, and also chatted with me to help me feel at ease during the appointment. I never felt pressured to make additional purchases or schedule unnecessary procedures. Unfortunately I’ll be making quite a few visits in the near future due to putting off care for so long, but I’m glad to be going back to Arsmiles to get everything back on track!
Wear Time and Blue Indicator
Clear aligners should be worn for a significant portion of your day to achieve the best results. Typically, patients wear them for about 20-22 hours daily. The exact duration depends on your unique treatment plan and the level of correction needed.
There’s a helpful blue indicator on the trays to ensure you’ve worn them for the required amount of time. This feature is particularly beneficial for teens and their parents, as it helps track progress effectively.
Who Can Benefit from Clear Aligners?
The quest for a beautifully straight smile knows no age limits. Clear aligners are suitable for teens and adults, provided they are committed to following the daily instructions and wearing them as recommended.
During a consultation, our team will assess your age, the extent of correction needed, and your smile goals to determine whether clear aligners or another orthodontic treatment best fits your needs. The treatment time usually takes anywhere from 6-18 months.
Advantages of Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a host of advantages that make them a preferred choice for many individuals seeking orthodontic treatment:
- Freedom to eat and drink anything (aligners are removed before eating or drinking anything other than water)
- Easy maintenance
- Comfortable and irritation-free
- Versatility
- Confidence and self-esteem

REAL PATIENTS. REAL RESULTS.
We have Ryan here today at AR Smiles, and we did a mouth restoration – so tell us a little bit about what you came in for and what we have done.
Well I’ll tell you that this process started about a year ago, I had a lot of crowding in my teeth, which brought a number of other issues – including food getting stuck, I wasn’t really confident in my smile, so I started with the clear aligners, and it was a very easy process – definitely worth the money. If I had to go back and do it again, I would and I would also recommend the process to anyone that would have confidence issues with their teeth, or just unhappy or uncomfortable with the wee that they are and I just finished up my composites, and got my first look at my new teeth and I have got to say that it is worth every penny, and I am very happy with it – I will be smiling big for quite some time.
That is so amazing, we are so glad to hear that! Give us a big smile for us – Aww look at how great that looks!

These were very easy to use! People barely noticed that I wore them – and easy to maintain dental hygiene while using them and I’m really happy with the results.
Thank you for coming to Ar smiles for your clear aligners!
Thank you!
So today Emily completed her clear correct aligner, and how did you feel after completing your aligners?
So much better! My teeth are a lot straighter – it has been great!
Would you recommend this treatment to anyone? Yes absolutely, my bottom teeth especially were really overcrowded which made it hard to floss and to keep my teeth clean so this has made the process so much better.
