What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are custom-made, removable trays that gradually guide your teeth into better alignment. Unlike braces, they use smooth, transparent material that keeps treatment nearly invisible during daily activities. Because they are removable, you can brush, floss, and enjoy your favorite foods without changing your routine.
Clear aligners are ideal for patients in Bend and Redmond who want an effective orthodontic option that fits naturally into work, school, and outdoor activities.
Benefits of Clear Aligners
- Wear the aligners about 23 hours a day
- Remove the aligners to eat meals and snacks
- Maintain the ability to brush and floss normally
- Hide your treatment instead of hiding your smile

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear aligners may be right for you if you want a discreet, removable way to straighten your teeth without brackets or wires. They can help with many cases involving crowding, spacing, mild to moderate misalignment, bite concerns, or teeth that have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment. Our team at Sullivan Orthodontics will confirm whether clear aligners are appropriate during your consultation.
Clear aligners are not automatically better than braces. They are simply better for some patients. Aligners can be a great option for responsible teens and adults who want a nearly invisible treatment option and can wear them consistently. Braces may be recommended for more complex tooth movement or bite correction.
At Sullivan Orthodontics, we recommend wearing clear aligners about 23 hours a day. You remove them for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear is one of the biggest factors in keeping clear aligner treatment on track.
Yes, some teens are good candidates for clear aligners, especially if they are responsible enough to wear them as directed. For other teens, braces may be a better choice because they are fixed in place and do not rely as heavily on patient compliance. Sullivan Orthodontics can help families compare teen braces and clear aligners during the consultation.
Clear aligners are designed to be nearly invisible, which makes them popular with adults, professionals, and teens who want orthodontic treatment without drawing attention to their smile. Most people will not notice them in everyday conversation.
Clear aligner treatment time depends on your case. Mild spacing or shifting may take less time, while more involved bite or alignment concerns may require a longer plan. Sullivan Orthodontics uses digital scanning and customized planning to map out your expected treatment timeline before you begin.
