Clear Aligners in Acworth, GA, Glee Dental
What Are ClearCorrect Clear Aligners?
ClearCorrect aligners are custom-made, nearly invisible plastic trays that shift your teeth a little at a time. You wear each set for a set period, then move on to the next one in your series. They’re made by the Straumann Group, and treatment is prescribed and supervised by your dentist.
Because the trays are removable, you take them out to eat, brush, and floss. That means no food restrictions and no working around wires, which is why many adults choose aligners over traditional braces. Aligners are one part of our cosmetic dentistry care.
If Any of This Sounds Familiar, Clear Aligners May Be Right for You:
- Your teeth are crowded or overlapping, and flossing has become a struggle
- You have gaps between your teeth that you’d like to close
- Your teeth have shifted since you had braces as a teenager
- You want a straighter smile but don’t want metal braces
- You’re planning veneers or bonding and want your teeth aligned first
Who Is a Good Candidate for Clear Aligners?
Good candidates have healthy teeth and gums, all of their permanent teeth, and the commitment to wear their aligners every day. ClearCorrect is designed for patients with permanent teeth, including all second molars, so older teens may qualify as well as adults.
Aligners work well for many cases of crowding and spacing, but they aren’t the right tool for every bite. If you’d be better served by an orthodontist, we’ll tell you.
Active cavities and gum disease need treatment first, because moving teeth through unhealthy gums can cause harm. If we find a problem, we’ll take care of it here with tooth-colored fillings or periodontal gum disease treatment, then start your aligners.
How Does Clear Aligner Treatment Work at Glee Dental?
Treatment takes four main steps, starting with a no-cost conversation about your goals.
- Complimentary consultation. Dr. Ajiboye examines your teeth and gums, reviews your bite, and tells you honestly whether aligners fit your case. New to our office? Here’s what to expect at your first visit.
- Your custom treatment plan. We collect the records needed to plan your tooth movement, and your aligners are made to fit your teeth.
- Wearing your aligners. You wear each set as directed and switch to the next one on schedule. Small tooth-colored attachments may be added to help certain teeth move.
- Check-ins and retainers. We monitor your progress at our Acworth office. When treatment ends, you’ll get a retainer to keep your teeth in their new position.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clear Aligners
Does Glee Dental offer Invisalign?
Glee Dental offers ClearCorrect clear aligners rather than Invisalign. Both are custom, removable aligner systems that work on the same basic idea. Dr. Ajiboye can explain whether ClearCorrect suits your case at a complimentary consultation.
Do clear aligners hurt?
Most patients feel pressure or tenderness for a few days when they start a new set of aligners. That usually means your teeth are moving, and it tends to fade as you get used to each set. Call us if an aligner edge is irritating your gums.
Can I eat with clear aligners in?
No. Take your aligners out before you eat or drink anything other than water. Brush your teeth before putting them back in, so food isn’t trapped against your teeth.
Am I too old for clear aligners?
There’s no upper age limit for clear aligners. What matters most is the health of your teeth, gums, and supporting bone. Many adults straighten their teeth for the first time, or correct shifting after childhood braces.
Can teenagers get ClearCorrect?
Yes, teens may qualify once their permanent teeth are in, including all second molars. They need to wear their aligners consistently for treatment to work.
Will I need a retainer after clear aligners?
Yes. Teeth tend to drift back after any kind of straightening, so a retainer protects your results. We’ll tell you how often to wear it and how to care for it.
What happens if I don’t wear my aligners enough?
Your teeth may not keep up with your treatment plan, and your next aligner may not fit properly. That can add time to your treatment. If you fall behind, call us rather than skipping ahead.
Does insurance cover clear aligners?
Coverage varies by plan, and our team can check your benefits for you. See our Insurance & Financing page for your payment options.
