What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear orthodontic aligners are a modern alternative to traditional braces. They are custom-made, virtually invisible trays that gently and progressively shift your teeth into the desired position. Each set of aligners is precisely crafted to move your teeth in small, controlled increments, gradually perfecting your smile.

Your Clear Aligner Journey at Gateway Oaks Dental
Achieving your ideal smile with clear aligners is a straightforward process. You'll begin with an initial consultation, allowing Dr. Truong to conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and bite to determine if clear aligners are the right solution for you. We'll discuss your goals and answer all your questions.
Next, we'll take comfortable digital scans of your teeth to create a precise 3D model. Using this model, we'll develop a customized treatment plan, showing you exactly how your teeth will move and what your final smile will look like. Once your aligners are fabricated, you'll receive a series of custom-made sets. You'll wear each set for about 1-2 weeks before moving on to the next, gradually shifting your teeth.
You'll wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink anything other than water, brush, and floss. You'll visit our office in Sacramento periodically for brief check-ups as your treatment progresses, so Dr. Truong can ensure your smile transformation is on track.
Are Clear Aligners Right for Your Smile?
Clear aligners can effectively treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. If you're looking for a comfortable, convenient, and discreet way to straighten your teeth, clear aligners could be the perfect choice for you!
