Removable Clear Aligners in Woodstock
The teen years can be a tough time for many, and a lot of kids this age prioritize their appearance, especially when considering orthodontic treatment. That's where clear aligners come in.
For teens concerned with how they will look during orthodontic treatment, worry no more. Clear aligners offer a lightweight and discreet option.
Since these aligners are removable, teens can continue to eat the foods that they love during treatment without any restrictions. They can also take them out for sports, playing instruments, picture day, and more.
Maintaining an oral hygiene routine doesn't take any added work either, since the aligners can be removed for brushing and flossing.
At Woodstock Orthodontics, we are proud to offer both Spark™ and Angel Aligners options for teen patients.

There are a number of things that make clear aligners an ideal option for your teens developing smile.
Smooth, Removable Aligners
The smooth, lightweight construction of aligners means they can be more comfortable in your mouth than the brackets and wires of traditional braces are. Plus, they're removable, so your teen can take them out to eat, brush, and floss, leaving these daily routines unaffected by treatment.
Low-Profile Aesthetic
One of the biggest draws to clear aligners is their discreet appearance. In fact, many teens feel more comfortable seeking out orthodontic care because they are no longer concerned about how their smile will look during treatment.
Fewer Visits to the Orthodontist
Unlike metal braces, clear aligners do not need to be adjusted. As a result, you will only need to visit our office for occasional checkups to monitor your treatment progress.
The Clear Aligner Process at Woodstock Orthodontics
Clear aligners are designed to straighten teeth by applying gentle, consistent pressure, shifting their position over time.
Treatment consists of a series of custom-made, clear aligners. Each aligner in the series plays a key role in your treatment timeline, with each aligner designed to shift certain teeth and apply pressure in certain areas.
When it's done its job, you will switch to the next one. This process continues until your teeth are in their proper places.
We offer Spark and Angel Aligners as clear aligner options for teenage patients.
