Clear Aligners in Riverton, Utah

Clear aligners offer a discreet, removable orthodontic treatment option for many patients who want straighter teeth without traditional braces.

At Welton Orthodontics, we help patients explore whether clear aligner treatment is suitable for their alignment and bite concerns.

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are custom-designed, transparent trays that fit over your teeth.

Each series of aligners is designed to apply gentle, controlled pressure, gradually moving teeth according to a planned treatment sequence.

A discreet appearance

No traditional metal brackets or archwires
Treatment planned around individual dental needs

How Does Clear Aligner Treatment Work?

Your orthodontist first examines your teeth and bite to determine whether clear aligners are appropriate.

If treatment is recommended, a series of aligners is designed to move your teeth in stages.

Patients typically wear their aligners for approximately 20 to 22 hours per day, following the specific instructions provided by their orthodontist.

Clear Aligners vs. Traditional Braces

Both clear aligners and traditional braces can improve dental alignment.

Clear aligners are removable and less noticeable. Traditional braces remain attached to the teeth and may be preferable for certain complex movements.

Your treatment needs, daily habits, and preferences all help determine which approach is appropriate.

Clear Aligners for Adults and Teens

Clear aligners can be an appealing option for adults who want discreet orthodontic treatment and teenagers who can consistently follow wear instructions.

Not every patient is a candidate, and treatment success depends partly on wearing the aligners as directed.

Caring for Your Clear Aligners

Remove aligners when eating or drinking anything other than plain water unless instructed otherwise.

Clean them as directed, store them in their case when not in use, and maintain good brushing and flossing habits.
