Smile Clearly, Smile Confidently
Many people worry that orthodontic treatments like braces are too visible or uncomfortable. Clear aligners are nearly invisible, offering a pain-free way to align your teeth while keeping your smile as natural as possible. At South Beach Dental, we make this process straightforward and stress-free.
Clear aligners work by gradually moving your teeth into proper alignment through a series of custom-made, nearly invisible trays. These aligners are removable, which means you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain your usual oral hygiene routine. With regular check-ups at South Beach Dental, we ensure your treatment stays on track for the best results.
At South Beach Dental, we focus on patient comfort and satisfaction throughout the clear aligner process. We offer personalized treatment plans, ensuring each aligner is crafted to suit your unique dental needs. Our goal is to make sure your experience is seamless, with minimal disruptions to your daily life.

FAQs about Clear Aligners
Frequently Asked Questions
What are clear aligners?
Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent trays that are designed to gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Unlike traditional braces, they do not involve metal brackets or wires, making them a more comfortable and discreet option for teeth straightening. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before being replaced with the next set in the series. They are virtually invisible, making them an ideal solution for adults and teens who prefer a more aesthetic approach to orthodontics. At South Beach Dental, we customize each aligner to fit your specific dental needs.
How long does treatment take?
The duration of clear aligner treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. On average, treatment typically takes between 6 to 18 months, though some cases may require more or less time. Mild cases, such as minor gaps or slight overcrowding, can often be treated in as little as six months. However, more complex cases may take up to two years. At South Beach Dental, we monitor your progress regularly to ensure that your treatment is on track. By following your dentist’s guidelines and wearing your aligners consistently, you can achieve your ideal smile efficiently.
Are clear aligners painful?
Most patients find clear aligners to be far more comfortable than traditional braces, but some discomfort is normal when transitioning to a new set of aligners. This mild pressure is a sign that the aligners are working to move your teeth. Unlike braces, which can cause irritation due to metal brackets and wires, clear aligners are made from smooth plastic, minimizing any soreness or abrasions. Any discomfort usually subsides after the first few days of wearing a new aligner. At South Beach Dental, we provide tips and support to help you manage any discomfort throughout your treatment.
Can I eat with clear aligners?
No, it’s important to remove your clear aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. Eating with your aligners can damage them, as the material is not designed to withstand the pressure of chewing. Food particles can also get trapped between your teeth and the aligners, leading to potential staining or decay. After eating, it’s important to brush your teeth before reinserting the aligners to maintain good oral hygiene. At South Beach Dental, we provide detailed care instructions to help you protect your aligners and keep your teeth healthy throughout your treatment.
How often do I need to wear them?
For the best results, you should wear your clear aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. You should only remove them when eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing. Consistent wear is essential to keep your treatment on schedule and to ensure the aligners are effectively moving your teeth. Wearing them for less time than recommended can extend your treatment duration or lead to suboptimal results. South Beach Dental will provide you with a tailored treatment plan and guidance on how to maintain your aligner schedule, ensuring your smile transformation stays on track.
Will clear aligners affect my speech?
When you first start wearing clear aligners, you might notice a slight lisp or difficulty pronouncing certain words. This is because the aligners sit directly on your teeth, slightly altering the way your tongue moves. However, most patients adapt to their aligners within a few days to a week, and their speech returns to normal. Practicing speaking out loud can help speed up the adjustment period. At South Beach Dental, we offer guidance on how to adapt quickly to wearing your aligners so that your daily communication is minimally impacted.
How do I clean my clear aligners?
Cleaning your clear aligners is simple but important to prevent bacteria buildup, stains, and odors. You should clean your aligners twice daily by brushing them gently with a soft toothbrush and rinsing them in lukewarm water. Avoid using toothpaste, as it can scratch the surface of the aligners. Instead, use a mild soap or a specially formulated aligner cleaning solution. It’s also a good idea to rinse your aligners after eating or drinking anything other than water. At South Beach Dental, we provide personalized instructions for keeping your aligners clean and clear throughout your treatment.
Are clear aligners suitable for everyone?
Clear aligners can treat many orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. However, they may not be suitable for every patient, especially those with more severe misalignment or complex bite issues. In some cases, traditional braces or other orthodontic treatments may be more appropriate. At South Beach Dental, we perform a comprehensive assessment of your dental health to determine if clear aligners are the right solution for you. We offer personalized treatment plans that cater to your unique needs, ensuring you receive the most effective care for your situation.
How often will I need to visit the dentist?
During your clear aligner treatment, you’ll need to visit South Beach Dental every 6 to 8 weeks for a check-up. These appointments allow us to monitor your progress, ensure the aligners are fitting properly, and address any concerns you may have. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners don’t require frequent adjustments, but these regular check-ups are crucial for making sure your treatment is on track. If any issues arise, such as discomfort or a broken aligner, we’ll address them during these visits to ensure you continue progressing toward your new smile.
Are clear aligners expensive?
The cost of clear aligners varies depending on the complexity of your treatment and how long it will take. On average, clear aligner treatment is comparable in price to traditional braces. At South Beach Dental, we strive to make this treatment accessible and offer flexible payment plans to suit your budget. During your initial consultation, we’ll provide a detailed breakdown of costs and discuss available options, including insurance coverage and payment plans. Our team is committed to helping you achieve a healthy, beautiful smile without financial stress, offering solutions that work for every patient.
