Clear Aligner Treatment
At Rogers Family Dentistry, we offer custom clear aligners to fit our patients’ needs. Clear aligners are an alternative treatment option to traditional braces. Many patients opt for this treatment instead of traditional metal braces for many reasons. First of course, people of all ages choose clear aligners because they are visually less noticeable than metal brackets and wires.
The clear aligners also tend to be more comfortable due to their smooth edges. Patients who opt for clear aligner treatment also benefit from the ability to clean their teeth more thoroughly, since the aligners can be taken off for cleaning or eating.
To find out whether you are a good candidate for treatment our staff will start by evaluating your jaw, bite, and current position of your teeth. Invisalign Treatment can treat many cases often including gapped teeth, crowded teeth, overbite, underbite, and crossbite. Our team would be happy to help you start the process of Invisalign treatment with a complimentary, no obligation consultation. Schedule a time to see us by booking online or calling our office today.
What is clear aligner treatment?
Clear aligner treatment is a process of wearing clear liners that gradually straighten your teeth. It is different than braces because it does not use brackets or wires. Plus, you do not have the normal restrictions that come with wearing braces.
What are the benefits of clear aligner treatment?
As the name implies, the aligners are virtually unnoticeable. All your friends and coworkers will see are the dazzling results that follow! They are easily removable, meaning that you will not need to make any frustrating changes to your diet or oral health routine to accommodate the treatment.
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
While traditional braces often take upwards of two years to be fully effective, clear aligner treatment usually completes in between 12-18 months, a significantly speedier time frame.
Why is clear aligner treatment used?
Clear aligner treatment is used to correct several dental issues including crowding, gabbed teeth, crossbites, open bites, and underbites. To see if we can help your smile, call to set up a consultation at 513.231.1012

This helps us stay organized and prepared for your visits, reducing wait times and improving the overall efficiency of your care. By using ProMonitoring, we can quickly identify any changes or needs in your treatment plan, ensuring that you receive the most personalized and timely care possible.

ProMonitoring™ Process
1. Initial Consultation & Assessment
Your journey begins with a consultation with your dentist or orthodontist. During this visit, your dental professional will assess your oral health and determine if clear aligners are the right solution for your needs.
Advanced imaging and scans are taken of your teeth, and a detailed treatment plan is created. This plan is designed specifically for you to ensure optimal teeth movement over time.
2. Custom Clear Aligners Design
Using the latest technology, ProMonitoring helps to create a custom set of clear aligners that fit your teeth precisely.
The system uses a 3D model of your teeth to design a series of aligners that gradually shift your teeth into their correct position, providing you with a tailored treatment experience.
3. Receiving Your Aligners
Once your aligners are custom-made, you will receive your first set of aligners during your follow-up appointment.
Your dentist will provide instructions on how to wear and care for your aligners, ensuring that you understand the process for maintaining them.
4. Wear the Aligners
You will wear each set of aligners for about 1-2 weeks, depending on your treatment plan, for 20-22 hours a day—removing them only to eat, drink, or clean your teeth.
ProMonitoring technology tracks your progress and ensures that you are following your prescribed treatment plan. The system provides feedback to your dentist if adjustments are needed, ensuring that your treatment stays on track.
5. Monitoring Progress & Adjustments
Throughout your treatment, ProMonitoring keeps track of the alignment of your teeth, sending real-time updates to your dentist or orthodontist.
If necessary, your dental team will review the data and provide you with feedback or adjustments to your treatment plan, ensuring that your aligners are working effectively.
6. Switch to the Next Set of Aligners
As you progress through your treatment, you’ll begin switching to the next set of aligners in the series. ProMonitoring ensures the transitions are smooth by alerting your dentist to any issues before they arise.
You’ll continue to wear the new aligners as directed, and your dentist will monitor how well your teeth are responding to the changes.
7. Final Stages & Retainers
Once your teeth have reached their final position, ProMonitoring will notify your dentist that treatment is nearing completion. At this point, your dentist will review your progress and confirm the final results.
After your treatment with clear aligners is complete, you may be given a retainer to help maintain your new smile. Your dentist will guide you on how often to wear the retainer to prevent your teeth from shifting back.
8. Regular Check-Ins & Continued Care
ProMonitoring allows for easy remote check-ins with your dentist, so you don’t always have to come into the office unless necessary. Your dental team will continue to monitor your smile even after your aligners are finished, ensuring that your teeth remain in their ideal position.
9. Enjoy Your New Smile!
After completing your treatment with ProMonitoring Clear Aligners, you can enjoy a straight, confident smile. You’ll have the knowledge that your treatment was carefully monitored and adjusted as needed for the best results.
ProMonitoring takes the guesswork out of clear aligner treatment, allowing for a more precise, efficient, and comfortable experience. By keeping your dental team updated on your progress, you’re assured a personalized treatment journey that’s tailored to your needs every step of the way.
