What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are custom, removable trays that gently move teeth into alignment over time. Patients searching for a clear aligner Tempe option love them because they’re nearly invisible, easy to clean, and can be removed for meals and brushing—no brackets or wires required.

What Is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is one of the most recognized clear aligner brands. Using proprietary SmartTrack® material, Invisalign trays fit snugly and apply consistent, gentle pressure. Invisalign can address a wide range of orthodontic needs, including:

  • Mild to moderate crowding
  • Small gaps between teeth
  • Minor bite issues (overbite, underbite, crossbite)

If you’re looking for the Best Invisalign experience or evaluating Invisalign Tempe options, our team will map a plan that fits your goals and timeline.

What Is SureSmile®?

SureSmile® Aligners rely on advanced 3D digital planning to design each movement. With precise treatment mapping by Dr. Trent W. Smallwood, benefits can include:

  • Efficient, case‑dependent timelines
  • Fewer in‑office visits versus traditional braces
  • High customization—even for complex tooth movements
  • Smooth, comfortable trays for everyday wear
