The Basics

What are clear aligners?

Clear aligners are a modern orthodontic treatment that gradually shifts your teeth into alignment using a series of custom-made, transparent plastic trays. Each set is worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next in the series. Over time — typically 12 to 18 months depending on your case — your teeth move into their ideal position without a single bracket or wire.

Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are:

  • Nearly invisible — most people won't notice you're wearing them.
  • Removable — take them out to eat, drink anything other than water, brush, and floss.
  • Comfortable — smooth plastic with no sharp brackets or wires to irritate cheeks or gums.
  • Predictable — your plan is mapped out digitally before you begin, so you can see your expected results.

Prefer a fixed option, or have a more complex case? We also offer traditional braces.

What They Treat

What can clear aligners correct?

Clear aligners are effective for a wide range of orthodontic concerns in both teens and adults:

Crowded teethWhen teeth overlap or don't have enough room.
Gaps between teethSpaces that affect appearance and can trap food.
OverbiteUpper teeth significantly overlap the lower teeth.
UnderbiteLower teeth protrude in front of the upper teeth.
CrossbiteUpper and lower teeth don't align properly side to side.
Open biteUpper and lower teeth don't meet when the mouth is closed.

Clear aligners work best for mild to moderate concerns, including minor relapse after previous orthodontic treatment. During your consultation, Dr. Khan will assess your bite and tooth positions to confirm whether clear aligners are right for you, or whether another approach would serve you better.

What To Expect

The clear aligner process

1

Consultation

Dr. Khan reviews your teeth, bite, and oral health to determine whether clear aligners are the right fit, and discusses your goals, timeline, and cost. No commitment at this stage.

2

Digital scanning & planning

Digital impressions create a precise 3D model of your teeth, and your full treatment is mapped out digitally — so you can see the expected movement from start to finish before you commit.

3

Aligner fabrication

Your custom trays are manufactured to the exact specifications of your plan, each corresponding to a specific stage of tooth movement.

4

Wearing your aligners

Wear each set about two weeks, 20–22 hours per day, removing them to eat, drink anything but water, brush, and floss. Progress check-ins are every 6 to 8 weeks.

5

Completion & retention

Once your final tray is done, a retainer maintains your results. Wearing it as directed — typically nightly — protects your smile long-term.

Is It Right For You?

Am I a candidate for clear aligners?

Most adults and older teenagers with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns are strong candidates. You may be a good fit if you:

  • Have crowded, spaced, or misaligned teeth
  • Have healthy gums and no active tooth decay
  • Are committed to wearing the trays 20–22 hours per day
  • Want a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces
  • Have experienced some relapse after previous orthodontic treatment

Clear aligners may not be suitable for severe skeletal discrepancies or complex bite issues, which may require traditional braces or a specialist referral. A consultation with Dr. Khan will confirm the best path for your situation.


Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is ClearCorrect the same as Invisalign?
ClearCorrect and Invisalign use the same core approach — custom clear aligner trays that progressively move teeth. For the majority of cases, clinical outcomes are comparable. The main differences are brand recognition and price; ClearCorrect is often more affordable while delivering equivalent results.
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Treatment length depends on your case. Most patients complete treatment in 12 to 18 months, and mild corrections may take less time. Dr. Khan will give you a realistic timeline during your consultation.
Do clear aligners hurt?
You may feel mild pressure or discomfort for a day or two when switching to a new tray — this is normal and a sign the aligner is working. Unlike metal braces, there are no brackets or wires to irritate the inside of your mouth.
Can I eat normally with clear aligners?
Yes — because aligners are removable, there are no food restrictions. Simply remove your trays before eating or drinking anything other than water, then brush before reinserting them.
How often do I need check-up appointments?
Progress check-ins are typically scheduled every 6 to 8 weeks, allowing Dr. Khan to monitor your tooth movement and ensure treatment is progressing as planned.
Does insurance cover clear aligners?
Many insurance plans that cover traditional orthodontics also cover clear aligners to the same extent. We accept the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) and direct bill most major insurers. We recommend checking your specific policy details, and our team can help.
What happens after treatment is complete?
A retainer is provided at the end of treatment to maintain your results. Wearing your retainer as directed — typically at night — is essential for preventing teeth from drifting back over time.
I searched for Invisalign in Aurora and found this page. Do you offer Invisalign?
We offer ClearCorrect, which works on the same principle as Invisalign and produces comparable results for most patients. During your consultation, Dr. Khan can walk you through the options and help you understand which aligner system best suits your needs and budget.
