Clear Aligners in Albuquerque, NM | Fanning Orthodontics

What are Clear Aligners?

Clear Aligners are a treatment that gently move teeth into place. The trays are worn in a series over time to create a beautiful smile. We also offer traditional braces as well, The aligners are discrete and are comfortable when worn, and do not cause any mouth or gum irritation.

The clear aligner trays are worn anywhere between 20-22 hours a day. The time worn each day depends on the patient’s treatment plan and the level of correction needed. Clear aligners are easily removable for drinking and eating, and have a blue indicator to let patients know when they have worn the trays for the required amount of tine each day. The blue indicator is great for teens using the clear aligners, and helps parents know if their child has worn the trays for the correct amount of time.

Older teens and adults can follow instructions daily and ensure the trays are worn for the required amount of time. On average this treatment takes between 6-18 months, and this is comparable to the treatment time for traditional braces. During our consultation process we will discuss each patient’s age, level of correction, and smile goals to help choose which orthodontic treatment is best.
