How do invisible aligners work?

Updated June 17, 2025

Invisible aligners like Invisalign and ClearCorrect gently shift your teeth into place using a series of clear, removable trays—no metal brackets or wires needed. Each aligner is custom-made to fit your teeth and apply targeted pressure, moving them gradually over time.

At Antelope Creek Family Dentistry in Lincoln, NE, here’s how the process works:

  1. Consultation: We evaluate your smile and discuss your goals to see if clear aligners are a good fit.

  2. Custom Design: Digital impressions are sent to the lab to create your personalized aligner trays.

  3. Wear & Replace: You wear each aligner for a set period, switching to the next in the series as your teeth shift.

  4. Final Touch: After your last aligner, we provide a custom retainer to help maintain your new smile.

Clear aligners can correct spacing, crowding, and bite issues—often with fewer office visits and more flexibility than traditional braces.
