Create Your Dream Smile With Discreet Orthodontics
Clear aligners remain a popular alternative to braces. They have made it possible for adults to get the orthodontic care they want without anyone noticing. Aligners have advantages that you won’t find with brackets and wires. You can expect:
- Greater Comfort – Your aligners are custom-designed to fit your teeth perfectly during each stage of treatment. They are less likely to irritate the soft tissue in your mouth than braces. Orthodontic checkups are easier, too.
- More Convenience – Your aligners are removable. This means you can continue eating what you like throughout your treatment. You won’t need to change your daily oral hygiene routine, either.
- Barely Visible Appearance – This is a big reason many people prefer aligners to braces. You can wear aligners without calling attention to your orthodontics. They blend in seamlessly with your teeth.
We know that starting this kind of treatment is a big decision. To help you, Dr. Ted Thomas can show you the final results with the SureSmile outcome simulator before you begin. This will help you see how your smile would change with your aligners.
Many people choose to get other cosmetic services at the conclusion of their orthodontic treatment. It can make your new, straight teeth look their very best.

Nelson K I had a Ted Thomas coaching course and I enjoyed the service very much. What I enjoyed the most were the people – Ted, coaches and staffs. They were really people and there for you. Also, learning all the details with experts in your own pace was wonderful and you could easily build your confidence in your learning.
I had a little struggle in the beginning for self-study phase but Ted took the initiative to make sure I would learn the process from the best people from his team, which was absolutely amazing and make this program very personal.

I had an emergency where a piece of my molar came off and I was in such pain! I felt like I had a dry socket like when I had my wisdom teeth removed and the pain was HORRIBLE. Anyways, I called my own dentist who wouldn’t have had seen me until Four days later and I called around and no one else was able to fit me in that day. I called Dr. Thomas’s office right before they were going to close and they were able to fit me in and do my procedure which was quick and painless. I was so nervous but Dr. Thomas and his staff were super friendly which caused my anxiety and fear levels to drop significantly! They worked with me, my insurance and set up a payment plan. As I was walking out the door, I knew “This is going to be my new dentist for sure”! Their friendly and kind approach won me over!
Common Questions About Clear Aligners
Unlike traditional braces that use metal brackets, bands, and wires, this orthodontic alternative uses plastic clear aligners to straighten your teeth. You simply slide the aligners over your teeth and wear them for at least 20-22 hours a day. You can freely remove your aligners for eating, brushing, or a special occasion, so long as you put them back in when you’re done.
Unlike traditional braces that force you to wear metal brackets and wires for two or three long years, clear aligners can deliver amazing results in months – usually about 12. Obviously, it is different for everyone, but the sooner you get started on your transformative journey, the sooner you will get to enjoy that stunningly straight smile.
We typically recommend SureSmile aligners for teenagers or adults who have all their permanent teeth. If you’re considering clear aligners for your child, it’s better to wait until their mouth has stopped growing. If you have a dental bridge, it may need to be removed before clear aligner treatment. Bridges make it more difficult for teeth to be moved.
