Clear Aligner Therapy in Renton, WA

Achieve a straighter, more confident smile without traditional braces. At Michael J. Scoles, DMD in Renton, WA, Dr. Michael Scoles and Dr. Kimberly Reyes offer clear aligner therapy—a modern, discreet approach to orthodontic treatment that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

What Is Clear Aligner Therapy?

Clear aligner therapy uses a series of custom-made, transparent trays to gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks before moving to the next set, gently guiding your teeth into their ideal positions over the course of treatment.

Benefits of Clear Aligners

Clear aligners offer several advantages over traditional braces:

• Virtually invisible – The clear trays are barely noticeable, so most people won't know you're in treatment
• Removable – Eat, brush, and floss normally without any restrictions
• Comfortable – Smooth plastic with no metal brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks and gums
• Predictable results – Digital treatment planning lets you see your projected results before you begin
• Fewer office visits – Less time in the dental chair compared to traditional braces

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Clear aligner therapy is effective for treating a wide range of alignment issues, including:

• Crowded or overlapping teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
• Mild to moderate misalignment
• Teeth that have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment

During your consultation at Michael J. Scoles, DMD, Dr. Michael Scoles or Dr. Kimberly Reyes will evaluate your smile and determine if clear aligners are the right solution for you.
