Clear Aligners in Vancouver, WA

At SoWA Orthodontics, Dr. Esther Lin is proud to offer the latest advancements in clear aligner therapy to help you achieve a healthy, confident smile without the appearance or feel of traditional braces.

Clear aligners are a discreet and effective option for both teens and adults. It may be used for Early Treatment in many situations for younger kids as well. With proper wear, clear aligners carefully planned by Dr. Lin can address most of the common orthodontic problems, including crowding, spacing, overbite, open bite, and crossbite.

How Do Clear Aligners Work?

Clear aligners are a removable orthodontic appliance made from a precise digital scan of your teeth. No messy impressions required! Using advanced imaging technology, Dr. Lin will design a customized series of aligners that gently move your teeth.

What to expect:

• Your aligners will be checked for proper fit and comfort.
• Aligners need to be worn for a prescribed period of time (usually 20-22 hours per day for 7-14 days).
• Attachments (tooth-colored anchors): Some teeth will have tooth-colored attachments placed to facilitate movement.
• We will track your progress with regular in-person and Grin remote check-ins.
• Once treatment is complete, you will receive a retainer to maintain your beautiful new smile.
• Bring your old or used aligners to us, and we will help you dispose of and recycle them properly!
