3. Review your personalized treatment plan

Based on the 3D scan, Dr. Kelli Brady creates a step-by-step plan tailored to your unique dental needs.

4. Receive your first set of aligners

Once your clear aligners are ready, you can begin wearing them right away. Each aligner is custom-crafted to fit comfortably over your teeth. You wear them for 20-22 hours a day, removing them for brushing, flossing, eating, and drinking. The best part is that since they are clear, most people do not even notice you are wearing them.

5. Progress with aligner changes

Throughout your aligner treatment, you will switch to a new set of trays every 1-2 weeks, depending on your specific plan. Each aligner is designed to gradually shift your teeth toward their ideal position. Regular check-ins with Dr. Kelli Brady and her team ensure everything is progressing smoothly and as expected.

6. Achieve your beautiful new smile!

After completing your aligner sets as prescribed, you will achieve the beautiful, straight smile you have always wanted. To maintain your results, Dr. Brady may recommend wearing a retainer. The hard work pays off when you see your final results and feel the boost in your self-confidence.
