What is Aligner Therapy?

Schedule Your Appointment Today

Whatever your dental needs, Briarwood is here to help!

We believe that everyone deserves a beautiful, confident smile. If you’re considering orthodontic treatment but don’t want to deal with the hassle or appearance of traditional metal braces, aligner therapy is the perfect solution. Using state-of-the-art clear aligners, we can straighten your teeth comfortably and discreetly.


We offer two leading brands of clear aligners: Invisalign and Candid Pro. Both offer effective, comfortable, and customizable treatment options that fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. Let’s explore both treatments to help you decide which one is right for you!

Aligner therapy is a modern approach to orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. These aligners are custom-made to fit your mouth and are designed to gently move your teeth into their ideal positions over time. Unlike traditional braces, aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your smile without drawing attention to your treatment.


Aligner therapy is not only effective for straightening teeth, but it also offers the convenience of removable trays, meaning you can take them out to eat, drink, and brush your teeth. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene and enjoy your favorite foods throughout treatment.

Invisalign: The Clear Choice for a Perfect Smile

Invisalign is one of the most well-known and trusted clear aligner brands. It uses a series of smooth, clear aligners that are custom-made using advanced 3D imaging technology. These aligners are designed to fit snugly over your teeth, applying gentle pressure to shift them into place.  With Invisalign you will wear each aligner for 1-2 weeks and be seen in the office every 4-6 weeks to assess the fit of your current aligner before receiving your next few aligners.  Benefits of Invisalign:
  • Invisible and Discreet: Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for teens and adults who want a more discreet treatment option.
  • Comfortable and Smooth: Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are smooth and comfortable, with no brackets or wires to irritate your gums.
  • Removable: Since Invisalign aligners are removable, you can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss, making oral hygiene much easier to maintain.
  • Faster Treatment Time: Invisalign treatment can often take less time than traditional braces, with many patients seeing noticeable results in as little as 6 to 18 months.
  • Customized for Your Smile: Every Invisalign treatment is personalized based on digital impressions of your teeth, ensuring a precise fit and optimal results.

Candid Pro: The Convenient At-Home Aligner Treatment

Candid Prooffers a convenient and affordable way to straighten your teeth using high-quality clear aligners, all while being able to monitor your progress from home. Candid Pro provides the flexibility of remote care, combined with the support of our professional dental team, to help you achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Benefits of Candid Pro:
  • Convenient and Remote: Candid Pro uses an app on your phone to track your progress remotely.  This means you are able to track your treatment progress from the comfort of your home.
  • Customized Treatment: Just like Invisalign, Candid Pro aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth and are designed to gradually shift them into their ideal positions.
  • Affordable: Candid Pro offers a more cost-effective solution compared to traditional braces or in-office treatments while still providing high-quality results.
  • Comfort and Flexibility: The aligners are removable, so you can enjoy meals, drinks, and maintain your oral hygiene without restriction.
  • Discreet and Effective: Candid Pro aligners are clear and nearly invisible, making them ideal for those who want to straighten their teeth without the noticeable appearance of traditional braces.
Candid Pro offers flexibility with remote care, making it an ideal choice for individuals with busy lifestyles who prefer a more independent approach to orthodontic treatment.
