Clear Aligners in Carrollwood, Tampa
If you want straighter teeth without metal braces, clear aligners could be the solution you’ve been waiting for. At Phoenix Dental, we offer custom clear aligner therapy to discreetly and comfortably straighten your smile—without brackets, wires, or diet restrictions.
Serving teens and adults in Carrollwood, Northdale, Lake Magdalene, and surrounding Tampa communities, we help patients improve both the appearance and function of their smile with a treatment designed around their lifestyle.
How Do Clear Aligners Work?
Clear aligners are a series of thin, transparent trays that gradually shift your teeth into alignment. Each set is worn for about 1–2 weeks, moving your teeth in small, planned increments.
Treatment includes:
- An impression of your teeth
- A customized treatment plan showing how your smile will change
- A series of BPA-free, removable aligners
- Progress check-ins throughout your care
You’ll wear the aligners 20–22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
What Can Clear Aligners Correct?
Clear aligners are effective for treating many mild to moderate alignment issues, including:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps or spacing between teeth
- Minor overbites, underbites, and crossbites
- Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
Not sure if you’re a candidate? We’ll evaluate your bite and goals during a consultation and walk you through your options honestly and clearly.
Benefits of Clear Aligners vs. Traditional Braces
Patients love clear aligners because they offer:
- Nearly invisible appearance—no one has to know you’re wearing them
- Removability for eating, brushing, and special occasions
- No metal wires, brackets, or tightening
- More comfortable experience with smooth plastic trays
- Fewer appointments compared to braces
They’re an excellent choice for adults and teens looking for a more flexible, aesthetic solution to orthodontic care.
