The Clear Aligner Treatment Process
Initial Consultation
During your first visit, Dr. Sierra will examine your teeth and discuss your goals for straighter teeth and an improved smile. Using digital imaging, she'll map out a customized treatment plan just for you.
Creating Your Custom Aligners
Once your treatment plan is finalized, Dr. Sierra will take a scan to get precise measurements of your teeth. These will be used to create your personal series of clear, removable aligners.
Wearing the Aligners
You'll receive your first set of aligners with instructions to wear them 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for eating and drinking. You'll switch to a new set of aligners every 1-2 weeks as your teeth gradually shift.
Follow-Ups
Every couple of weeks, you'll have a brief follow-up visit so Dr. Sierra can monitor your progress and ensure your treatment is on track. Adjustments can be made as needed throughout the process.

FAQs
Have questions? We've got answers.
Clear aligners give you the freedom to enjoy all your favorite foods and drinks — just remember to remove them before you eat or drink anything other than water. After you're done, pop them back in to continue your treatment seamlessly. This simple routine keeps your aligners in top shape and makes it easy to maintain good oral hygiene.
To get the best results with your treatment, it's important to wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours each day. Consistent wear allows your teeth to gradually shift into the desired position, which helps your treatment stay on track. By following these guidelines, you can maximize the effectiveness of your clear aligners and discover the smile you've always wanted.
The length of treatment is determined by the complexity of each case — timelines can range anywhere from 6 to 18 months. After thoroughly examining your teeth and overall oral health, Dr. Sierra can provide a more precise estimate. It's also important to closely follow your treatment plan to make sure you achieve results within the projected timeframe.
Absolutely, wearing a retainer after your clear aligner treatment is a must. Think of it this way: your teeth have a "memory" and tend to drift back to their original spots. Keeping up with your retainer routine is crucial — it's not just for now, but for life. If you skip it, your teeth could shift, and you might find yourself needing more orthodontic work down the road.
