Clear Aligners
Straighten Your Teeth Comfortably, Discreetly, and Predictably
A straight smile does way more than just look good in photos. And it transforms your oral health by making teeth super easy to clean while taking stress off your jaw.
Clear aligners completely changed how we fix crooked teeth. Instead of dealing with sharp metal brackets and wires, you wear smooth, clear plastic trays. These custom trays gently guide your teeth into place step by step.
Our doctors at Forever Smiles combine serious orthodontic training with digital tech. And we design custom plans that build up the long-term strength of your smile.
Why Choose Clear Aligners?
The thought of wearing metal braces stops a lot of adults from fixing their teeth.
Clear aligners give you a low-profile, comfortable option that slides right into your routine.
Here are a few big perks:
- Virtually invisible when you talk to people
- Smooth plastic with zero metal wires to cut your mouth
- Easy to pop out whenever you eat, brush, or floss
- Simple to keep your teeth and gums clean
- Fewer emergency visits to fix snapped wires
- Digital planning so you know what to expect
- A constantly improving smile along the way
And most of the time, people won’t even notice you have them in.
How Clear Aligners Work
Your journey starts with a full checkup and a quick 3D scan using our digital wand.
We feed that scan into computer software to map out every movement from start to finish.
Next, a full set of custom trays gets made just for you. You wear each set for about a week or two before moving on to the next pair.
We might stick tiny, tooth-colored bumps onto a few teeth during treatment. These little attachments act like handles that give the aligners leverage to move stubborn spots.
And week by week, those exact movements guide your teeth into a healthier line.
Health Benefits
More Than Cosmetic Dentistry
A lot of people think orthodontics is just about getting a pretty smile.
But properly aligned teeth yield huge health benefits, such as:
Effortless brushing and flossing routines
Less plaque buildup in tight corners
Recommending targeted fluoride toothpastes for home
Healthier, firmer gums
Fewer annoying food traps between teeth
Balanced chewing pressure across your jaw
Less risk of chipping or grinding down enamel
A solid base if you need other dental work down the line
Fixing crowded spots today protects your natural teeth for decades to come.
Is Clear Aligner Therapy Right for You?
Clear aligners offer a great path if you want a subtle way to fix your smile.
We use them all the time for:
Mild or moderate crowding
Gaps between teeth
Twisted or crooked teeth
Minor bite problems
Teeth that shifted back after old braces
For really complex bite issues, standard metal braces might still be the best tool. But during your visit, we go over every option and pick what sets you up for success.
Advanced Training Matters
Getting great results with clear aligners takes way more than just handing you a box of plastic trays.
The team at Forever Smiles understands how teeth shift, how bites work, and how movement impacts your overall health.
Dr. Chris Ibberson, Dr. Steve Linden, and Dr. Luke Viall have extensive training in orthodontics and aligner design. And that background helps them handle complex alignment cases with confidence.
And when a patient needs full restorative work, Dr. Shawn Knorr works right alongside our orthodontic team. This keeps your tooth movements aligned with your goals for chewing, comfort, and stability.
Our team approach means we look at your whole mouth, not just one crooked tooth.

Digital Technology Creates Better Results
Every clear aligner case at Forever Smiles starts with a digital scan instead of a mouthful of sticky goop.
Our iTero scanner gives us:
- A comfortable, mess-free scan
- Accurate 3D models of your jaw
- Better treatment planning
- Easy progress checks at every visit
- A permanent digital record of your bite
Digital tech keeps your experience smooth, fast, and completely predictable.
A Beautiful Smile That’s Easier to Maintain
Straight teeth look fantastic, but they work a lot better too.
When your teeth sit where they belong, keeping them clean is a breeze, and they handle daily chewing without extra wear.
If you want to upgrade your smile, prepare for cosmetic work, or fix a bad bite, clear aligners offer a simple solution that delivers.
