3M Clarity Aligners
Clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces, and we are proud to offer this solution at our office. Zsambeky, Chaney, & Associates offers 3M Clarity Aligners to help patients achieve a picture-perfect smile.
What Makes 3M Clarity Aligners Stand Out?
The utilization of two unique materials sets these aligners apart, providing enhanced flexibility and force persistence. 3M Clarity Aligners are constructed using five layers of polymer materials, skillfully engineered to achieve a remarkable balance of properties. Thanks to its flexibility, this innovative design ensures a snug and comfortable fit.
The material also exhibits excellent force persistence, allowing predictable tooth movement throughout your treatment. In fact, studies have demonstrated that 3M Clarity Aligners retain an impressive 75% of their force over two weeks!
What to Expect During Treatment
Using gradual force, 3M Clarity Aligners gently move teeth into proper alignment without the use of metal wires or brackets. These aligners are made of a clear, BPA-free material that is virtually invisible when worn. Each aligner is custom-made using advanced 3D digital models and software to fit your teeth perfectly.
As treatment progresses, the patient switches through a series of aligners, each one bringing the teeth closer to their correct alignment. Patients should wear the aligners for 20 hours each day for an effective treatment. New aligners are switched out approximately every two weeks.
What Are the Advantages?
Clear aligners are a fantastic option for individuals who want a straighter smile but do not want to wear metal bracket braces. We found our patients appreciate 3M Clarity Aligners for the following reasons:
- Discreet: The clear aligners blend seamlessly with your teeth, allowing you to smile confidently throughout your journey.
- Comfortable: The smooth, custom-made aligners fit snugly over your teeth, minimizing irritation to your gums and cheeks.
- Removable: You can take them out while eating, drinking, and cleaning your teeth, making it easier to maintain proper oral hygiene.
- Effective: 3M Clarity Aligners use advanced technology and materials to achieve optimal tooth movement.

Are Clear Aligners a suitable treatment option for everyone?
Clear aligners are suitable for most teenagers and adults. They are an excellent option for correcting mild to moderate dental misalignments like crowded teeth, overbites, underbites, and gaps between teeth.
However, for more complex orthodontic issues, traditional braces might be a more suitable option. It’s important to have a thorough consultation with a dental professional like Dr. Jonathan Zsambeky. He can assess your oral health and alignment issues to determine if clear aligners are the right treatment for you.
What are the benefits of Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners offer several advantages over traditional braces. Here are a few:
- Invisible: Clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them a discreet choice for teeth straightening. You can confidently wear them without feeling self-conscious about your appearance.
- Comfortable: Unlike braces, clear aligners have no wires or brackets that can cause discomfort. They are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic that fits comfortably over your teeth.
- Removable: You can easily remove your aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. This makes maintaining oral hygiene much easier compared to traditional braces.
- Predictable: With clear aligners, you can see a digital representation of your treatment plan and the expected results before you even begin the treatment.
- Less Dental Visits: Clear aligners require fewer visits to the dentist, as several sets of aligners are provided to you at once.
Will wearing clear aligners affect my speech or daily activities?
While there may be a short adjustment period, most people adapt quickly to speaking with clear aligners. The trays are designed to fit snugly over your teeth, minimizing interference with daily activities. With regular wear, any initial discomfort or impact on speech is typically temporary and diminishes as you become accustomed to the aligners.
