CLEAR ALIGNERS IN CHINO, CA
Choi & Lee Family Dentistry combines timeless elegance with the meticulous craftsmanship of traditional dental care.
WHAT ARE CLEAR ALIGNERS
Clear aligners are removable, custom-made trays that move your teeth into better alignment over time. Made from smooth, nearly invisible plastic, they are a comfortable alternative to traditional braces. Most people will not even notice you are wearing them, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who want straighter teeth without brackets or wires.
Clear aligners can fix dental issues like crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Each set is worn for about one to two weeks before moving on to the next, gradually shifting your teeth into place.
At Choi & Lee Family Dentistry in Chino, CA, we use advanced 3D technology to design aligners that fit your smile perfectly. This process also lets us show you a digital preview of your results. Beyond appearance, clear aligners support oral health because straighter teeth are easier to brush, floss, and keep clean.
How to Prepare FOR YOUR CLEAR ALIGNERS
Getting ready for clear aligners is simple. The first step is a dental exam, where we check your teeth and gums to confirm they are healthy. We take digital scans or impressions to design your aligners and discuss smile goals, such as closing gaps or correcting crowding.
If you have cavities, gum disease, or damaged teeth, those issues should be treated before starting aligners. This ensures your aligners fit properly and treatment stays on track. Practicing good oral hygiene is important because aligners fit snugly and can trap food if you are not brushing and flossing.
You must commit to wearing aligners 20 to 22 hours daily for best results. Removing them only for meals, water, and brushing keeps treatment moving smoothly. During your consultation, we will explain what to expect, how to care for your aligners, and how to stay consistent so you feel prepared to begin.
Aftercare for YOUR CLEAR ALIGNERS
Clear aligners do not require downtime, but proper care helps ensure success. You may feel slight pressure when switching to a new set of trays, but this usually eases within a few days. To keep your treatment on track, follow these tips:
-
Wear your aligners for 20–22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, drinking (except water), and oral hygiene.
-
Clean aligners daily with a soft brush and rinse in lukewarm water to prevent staining or odors.
-
Brush and floss after every meal before reinserting aligners to avoid trapping food or bacteria.
-
Switch to new trays as directed by your dentist and attend scheduled checkups to monitor progress.

Have Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
We’ve answered the most frequently asked questions to help you feel informed, prepared, and confident before your appointment.
How do clear aligners work to straighten teeth?
Clear aligners use a series of custom-fit trays that apply gentle pressure to move teeth into alignment. Each tray is worn for about one to two weeks before switching to the next, gradually guiding your teeth toward their ideal position.
How long does clear aligner treatment usually take?
Most patients finish treatment within 6 to 18 months. The exact length depends on the severity of misalignment and how closely you follow wearing instructions. Consistently wearing aligners 20 to 22 hours a day is key to achieving results on time.
Can clear aligners fix overbites, gaps, or crowded teeth?
Yes. Clear aligners are effective for correcting a variety of orthodontic issues, including mild to moderate overbites, underbites, spacing, and crowding. Severe cases may require traditional braces or a combination of treatments, which your dentist will discuss with you.
Are clear aligners better than braces?
Clear aligners offer discreet treatment, easier cleaning, and no food restrictions compared to braces. They are ideal for patients seeking a more comfortable, nearly invisible option. However, braces may still be recommended for complex cases.
Am I a candidate for clear aligners?
Clear aligners are suitable for teens and adults with healthy gums and teeth. They work best for mild to moderate orthodontic issues. During your consultation at Choi & Lee Family Dentistry in Chino, CA, we’ll determine if aligners are the right option for your smile goals.
