About Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a discreet, flexible option for straightening your teeth without the brackets and wires of traditional braces. These custom-made, removable trays fit snugly over your teeth and gently move them into place over time—offering a more comfortable and lifestyle-friendly approach to orthodontic care.
Because they’re nearly invisible, clear aligners are especially popular with teens and adults who want to improve their smile without drawing attention to their treatment. You can remove them to eat, brush, floss, and even for special occasions, making them one of the most convenient options available.
At Van Vliet & Ganz Orthodontics, we use advanced digital scanning technology to design your aligners with precision. Whether you’re a candidate for Invisalign or our own in-house aligners, you’ll get expert guidance every step of the way—from your initial scan to your final results.
Invisalign
Invisalign aligners are a modern, nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth—without brackets, wires, or the look of traditional braces. Instead of using metal, Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable trays that gently guide your teeth into alignment over time.
Each set of aligners is custom-made using advanced 3D imaging technology to ensure a precise, comfortable fit. You’ll wear each set for about one to two weeks before moving on to the next in the series, gradually shifting your teeth into their ideal positions.
Because the aligners are clear, most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them. They’re smooth, flexible, and removable, so you can eat, brush, and floss just like you normally would, without changing your lifestyle.
At Van Vliet & Ganz Orthodontics, we use digital tools like the iTero scanner to map your treatment plan with pinpoint accuracy, and our board-certified orthodontists oversee every step to ensure your Invisalign treatment is just as effective as braces—and often more convenient.
In-House Aligners
In addition to Invisalign, we’re proud to offer in-house clear aligners, created directly in our office using cutting-edge 3D printing technology. These aligners are designed by our doctors and customized for your unique smile—giving you expert-designed treatment with faster turnaround times and greater flexibility.
Benefits of our in-house aligners include:
- Quicker delivery—no waiting for outside labs
- Greater control over treatment and adjustments
- Same high-quality results under the supervision of board-certified orthodontists
- Perfect for mild to moderate cases or as a touch-up option
Our in-house aligners give us the ability to tailor your treatment with unmatched efficiency, all while maintaining the high standards of care you expect from our team.
Invisalign For Kids
While braces are a common choice for children, Invisalign First is a great option for younger patients who qualify. Designed specifically for growing mouths, Invisalign First helps guide the development of your child’s smile by addressing early orthodontic concerns like spacing, crowding, and bite alignment—all without metal brackets or wires.
Invisalign aligners are smooth, comfortable, and removable, making them a kid-friendly option that fits easily into daily life. Oral hygiene is simpler too, since your child can brush and floss as usual without working around brackets.
At Van Vliet & Ganz Orthodontics, our board-certified doctors will evaluate whether your child is a good candidate for clear aligners. If they are, we’ll create a treatment plan that supports healthy development while making orthodontics feel simple and stress-free—for both kids and parents.
Invisalign For Teens
Invisalign is a popular choice for teens who want to straighten their teeth without the look and feel of braces. Designed with teenage patients in mind, Invisalign Teen aligners come with built-in features like eruption tabs (for growing teeth) and compliance indicators that help ensure successful treatment.
Because the aligners are virtually invisible, most teens feel more confident wearing them—whether they’re at school, in photos, or hanging out with friends. They can also remove the aligners for meals, sports, and brushing, giving them more freedom and fewer limitations than traditional braces.
Our team uses advanced scanning technology and the latest planning tools to ensure each set of aligners fits perfectly and keeps treatment on track. We’ll work closely with you and your teen to provide support, guidance, and clear communication every step of the way.
Invisalign For Adults
It’s never too late to improve your smile, and Invisalign makes it easier than ever for adults to do so discreetly and conveniently. Whether you’re looking to correct shifting teeth, resolve bite issues, or finally achieve the smile you’ve always wanted, Invisalign offers a seamless solution that fits into your busy lifestyle.
As an adult, you may prefer a treatment that doesn’t interfere with your professional or social life. Invisalign aligners are clear, comfortable, and removable, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to the process. No food restrictions, no complicated hygiene routines—just a smooth path to a healthier smile.
At Van Vliet & Ganz Orthodontics, we’ve helped many adult patients achieve outstanding results with Invisalign. Our board-certified orthodontists use digital imaging and advanced planning software to personalize every treatment, ensuring results that are both efficient and lasting.
