Who Clear Aligners Can Help
When I recommend clear aligners, I am usually thinking about patients who want a healthier, more confident smile but do not want traditional metal braces. Clear aligners may be a good fit if you:
- Notice crowded, overlapping, or rotated teeth when you smile
- See gaps or spaces that bother you in photos
- Had braces in the past and your teeth have shifted again
- Have mild to moderate bite concerns that can be safely moved with trays
During your visit, I will examine your teeth, gums, and bite and tell you honestly whether clear aligners are the safest, most predictable way to reach your goals. If another option, such as veneers, bonding, or traditional orthodontics, would serve you better, I will explain why and walk you through those choices in plain language.

How Clear Aligners Work
- We evaluate your smile and bite
At a new patient or assessment visit, your dentist listens to your goals, examines your teeth and gums, and takes any needed images to see how your teeth and bite fit together. - We design a step‑by‑step plan
Using your records, we map out how your teeth can move with clear aligners and estimate how long treatment is likely to take for your specific case. - You wear a series of custom trays
You change to a new set of aligners on a set schedule and come in for short check‑ins so we can confirm that everything is moving safely and comfortably. - We finish and protect your results
When active treatment ends, we guide you into retainers and, if you wish, talk about whitening and comfort options to keep your new smile bright and feeling good.
How To Get Started With Clear Aligners
Clear Aligners
Getting Started
You do not need to know which specific visit type to choose. Your only job is to reach out and share what you are hoping to change.
Step 1: Reach out
Use the form on this page or call our Chaska clinic and say something as simple as:
- “I am interested in clear aligners.”
- “I want to straighten my teeth, but I am not sure if I am a candidate.”
- “My teeth shifted after braces and I would like to talk about options.”
Our team will ask a few easy questions so we understand your situation.
Step 2: We match you to the right first visit
Based on what you share, we will:
- Note whether you have dental insurance or not
- Check whether you are new to the clinic or already a patient here
Then we will recommend the best way to start, such as:
- A new patient visit with clear aligner planning
- A "Happy & Healthy Smile Assessment" if you are uninsured or out‑of‑network
- A focused consult if you are already a patient and want to talk specifically about aligners
Step 3: Meet with your dentist and decide together
Based on what you share, we will:
- Listen carefully to what you want your smile to look and feel like
- Examine your teeth, gums, and bite
- Tell you whether clear aligners are appropriate and what results are reasonable
- Walk through timing, cost, and how insurance or membership may apply
You stay in control the entire time. Our role is to give you clear information and a realistic path forward.

Cost, Insurance, and Membership Options
Clear aligner treatment is customized, so fees depend on how complex your case is and how long treatment is expected to last. Before you decide, you receive a written plan that outlines:
- The estimated total cost for your treatment
- Any expected insurance contribution, when applicable
- Explore monthly payment and flexible financing options
For patients without dental insurance, the "Happy & Healthy Smile Membership" offers a simple way to manage ongoing care:
- A flat fee, paid once per year
- All routine exams and X‑rays included
- 15% savings on most cleanings and treatment, including restorative and cosmetic care such as clear aligners
- No savings on whitening, Botox, or retail products (these have their own dedicated plans)
The membership is a savings plan, not insurance, and it cannot be combined with insurance or other discounts.
Keep Your New Smile Bright and Comfortable
Finishing clear aligner treatment is a big milestone. Once your teeth are straighter, the next step is keeping them healthy, bright, and comfortable in everyday life. Many patients choose one or more of these options after aligners:
