Why Should I Get Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a modern and innovative approach to straightening teeth that offer a less noticeable alternative to traditional braces. They are custom-made, clear plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth and gently shift them into the desired position over time. The aligners are designed using advanced 3D computer imaging technology, ensuring a perfect fit and effective treatment. Whether you have crowded teeth, gaps, or a misaligned bite, clear aligners can help you achieve a beautiful and healthy smile without the discomfort and aesthetic concerns of metal braces.

Request An Appointment
Clear aligners treatment begins with a thorough examination and consultation at Fairfax Dental Esthetics. Your Fairfax dentist will discuss your dental concerns and goals, and use 3D imaging to create a precise treatment plan. You'll receive a series of custom-made aligners, each designed to make small adjustments to the alignment of your teeth. You'll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will gradually shift until they've reached the final desired position.

Clear aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, promoting better oral hygiene.
Predictable & Effective

How We Can Alleviate Your TMJ Pain:
Mouth Guards
Mouth guards are an essential protective appliance for those with Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ/TMD). These specially designed guards not only protect teeth from impact injuries but also provide crucial cushioning to reduce trauma to the mouth, teeth, and jaw - areas particularly sensitive in TMJ/TMD patients.
Night Guards
For patients who experience bruxism, or teeth grinding, our team at Lowes Island Dentistry in Sterling, VA encourages you to be fitted for a night guard. Night guards, or bite guards, help to protect your teeth from crushing and grinding of teeth by providing a protective layer between your teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Will I Need To Wear My Clear Aligners?
%402x%20(2).svg){kind=icon}
The duration of treatment with clear aligners varies depending on the complexity of your case. Generally, it can range from 6 to 18 months, but Dr. Berrada will provide a more accurate timeline during your consultation.
Are Clear Aligners Painful?
Clear aligners apply gentle pressure to your teeth, which may cause some discomfort initially. However, most patients find clear aligners much more comfortable than traditional braces, and the discomfort usually subsides after a few days.
Can I Eat And Drink With My Clear Aligners In?
You should take out your clear aligners before eating or drinking anything besides water. The reason for this is that food and drinks can stain the aligners and might get trapped underneath them, which could lead to oral hygiene issues. Water is fine to drink while wearing your aligners, but for everything else, it's better to remove them. This practice also helps in maintaining the integrity and cleanliness of the aligners, ensuring they remain effective throughout your treatment. So, remember to take them out before meals and snacks to keep both your aligners and your teeth in good shape.
