Feeling self-conscious about your smile affects more than just your appearance. It can make you hold back a natural smile, impacting your happiness and overall mood.
When you conceal your smile, others might get the wrong impression, thinking you're upset or withdrawn, even though you're only uncomfortable with your teeth.
Clear aligners can help you change that.
Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are almost invisible, allowing people to focus on your personality, not your braces.
Clear aligners offer greater comfort than braces because there are no sharp wires or edges to irritate the soft tissues in your mouth.
With clear aligners, you’ll have fewer office visits since adjustments are made using pre-made trays rather than manual adjustments.
Clear aligners make eating simpler. You can enjoy all your favorite foods without worrying about damaging your braces.
The dedicated and caring team at Reuland & Barnhart makes the process of getting clear aligners smooth and stress-free.
Simply book a consultation, and we’ll guide you through each step, helping you achieve a more confident and carefree smile.
Growing up in today’s appearance-oriented, filter-focused social media world can be tough for tweens and teens.

Clear Aligners use a series of invisible, removable, comfortable aligners that no one can tell you’re wearing. So you can smile during treatment, not just afterward. Clear Aligners are made with 3-D computer imaging technology and has been proven effective.
Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment, plus brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. And no metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor’s office getting adjustments. Clear Aligners also allow you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start, so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
Most patients complete treatment in about 6–18 months, though your exact timeline depends on how complex your alignment needs are and how consistently you wear your trays.
You may feel mild pressure or soreness when switching to a new set of trays. This usually lasts only a few days and means the aligners are gently moving your teeth.
You should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining and keeps the trays fitting properly.
For the best results, wear your aligners 20–22 hours per day, removing them only for meals, brushing, and flossing.
Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits that can offset the cost of clear aligners. Our team will help you review your coverage and discuss flexible payment options.
