Achieving a straighter smile isn’t solely about aesthetics; it’s also about improving oral health, function, and confidence. Clear aligner therapy offers a modern solution to correct misalignments without the need for traditional metal braces. Whether you’re dealing with minor spacing issues or more complex bite concerns, aligners can provide an effective and less intrusive treatment option.
It’s often recommended in the following situations:
Clear aligners like Invisalign and SureSmile have revolutionized orthodontic treatment by offering a comfortable, convenient, and discreet way to straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces, these systems use a series of custom-made, removable trays that gradually move teeth into their desired positions.
The benefits of clear aligners include:
Choosing between Invisalign® and SureSmile® depends on various factors, including the complexity of your case, treatment goals, and personal preferences. Both systems offer unique advantages, and Dr. Gohel will help determine the best fit for you based on a comprehensive evaluation.
Common options include:
Each aligner system is designed to address specific orthodontic needs, from minor adjustments to more intricate corrections. Our goal is to provide a solution that aligns with your lifestyle while delivering effective results.
Both Invisalign® and SureSmile® are clear aligner systems designed to straighten teeth discreetly. Invisalign® uses proprietary materials and offers features for complex movements. SureSmile® utilizes advanced digital planning and may include tools to enhance treatment efficiency. Dr. Gohel will recommend the system that best suits your individual needs.
Treatment duration varies based on the complexity of the case. On average, patients complete treatment within 12 to 18 months. However, some may see results in as little as 6 months, while more complex cases could take up to 24 months.
Yes, clear aligners are designed for comfort. They are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth and apply gentle pressure to move them gradually. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, especially compared to traditional braces.
It’s recommended to remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps prevent staining and maintains the integrity of the aligners. Always brush your teeth before reinserting them.
For optimal results, wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
Yes, wearing a retainer post-treatment is essential to maintain your new smile. Retainers help keep your teeth in their corrected positions and prevent them from shifting back.
Clear aligners are appropriate for teens and adults with fully erupted permanent teeth. Younger patients or those with specific dental conditions should consult with Dr. Gohel to determine suitability.
Clean your aligners daily using a soft-bristled toothbrush and clear, mild soap. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. Specialized cleaning products are also available.
Contact our office immediately. Depending on your treatment stage, we may advise you to move to the next set or order a replacement. Prompt action ensures your treatment stays on track.
Many dental insurance plans offer partial coverage for orthodontic treatments, including clear aligners. Our team will assist you in understanding your benefits and provide information on financing options if needed.
I hadn’t been to a dentist in 12 years. I’m not proud of it, but the fear was real. Dr. Heering was the first dentist who didn’t dismiss it. He offered sedation and took time to explain everything before we even got started. I cried in the chair — not from pain, but because I finally felt safe. If dental anxiety is holding you back, this is the place to go. Don’t wait like I did.
I came in for a second opinion about getting implants. Dr. Gohel didn’t try to sell me anything. He showed me the X-rays, explained my options in plain English, and told me what he'd do if he were in my shoes. That kind of honesty is rare. I decided to move forward with the implants and haven’t looked back. Chewing feels normal again — like I got part of my life back.
My wisdom teeth were impacted and infected. I was in so much pain I couldn’t eat or sleep. Dr. Condello got me in the next morning and walked me through everything. The sedation worked like a charm, and he even called to check on me later that night. It wasn’t fun, obviously, but they turned what could’ve been a nightmare into a manageable, respectful experience.
I used to be the ‘closed-mouth smile’ girl in every picture. My front teeth were uneven and a little discolored, and I hated them. Dr. Gohel recommended veneers and showed me a mockup of what they could look like. The process was surprisingly easy, and now? I’m obsessed. My smile looks like it belongs in a toothpaste commercial. I wish I’d done this years ago.
Our whole family goes here — me, my wife, and our two daughters. Dr. Heering is great at making kids feel comfortable without dumbing things down. My girls actually look forward to going. And for me, it’s the peace of mind knowing we’re all getting top-level care in one place. You don’t get that often.
I cracked a molar on a piece of popcorn Friday night — sharp pain, couldn’t chew. Called the office Saturday morning and they told me to come right in. Dr. Condello patched it up quickly and got me a plan for a crown. They saved my weekend, honestly.
I’m a tech nerd, so I was fascinated watching the scanner make a 3D map of my mouth in real time. No trays, no mess, and I could see the image on the screen. Dr. Gohel used it to fit my crown and it was perfect on the first try. Dentistry has come a long way!
I’ve done whitening kits at home and always ended up with those sharp zaps of pain in my teeth. Not here. Dr. Heering used something gentler, and the results were still amazing. Zero sensitivity. 10/10.
I came in for a regular cleaning, and Dr. Gohel offered a screening because I mentioned my dad had oral cancer. He found a small patch on the side of my tongue and referred me to a specialist just to be safe. Thankfully it was nothing, but I had no idea dentists even did that. It really changed how I see dental visits — it’s not just teeth.
I lost most of my teeth years ago due to poor dental habits and some health issues. I’d been hiding my mouth and relying on loose-fitting dentures. Dr. Condello suggested All-on-4, and I wasn’t sure I could afford it, but we worked out a plan. The surgery went smoothly, and now I feel like a new man. I eat better, smile more, and honestly feel more like myself again. It was worth every penny.
I’ve been coming here for over 15 years — even after moving 45 minutes away. That should tell you everything. The staff is warm, the dentists are brilliant, and they’ve kept my smile healthy through every stage of life.
We started coming here when our son needed his first cleaning. Now he’s in college, and we’re all still patients. They remember your name, they ask about your life — it doesn’t feel like an appointment, it feels like catching up with people who genuinely care.
I used to dread dental visits. But this team is kind, patient, and actually fun to talk to. Everyone — from the front desk to the hygienists to the doctors — treats you like a human, not a number. That makes all the difference.
My daughter never liked the dentist — until we switched here. Now she actually reminds me when it’s time to schedule her cleanings. That’s how good they are.
I appreciate how respectful they are of my time. I’ve never waited more than five minutes past my appointment, and they explain everything upfront. No hidden fees, no pressure, just quality care every time.
Dr. Gohel has been my dentist since I was in my twenties. I’m in my fifties now. Through moves, pregnancies, and one very stubborn root canal, I’ve never once considered going elsewhere.
I was tired of hearing horror stories from my husband’s dentist, so I finally convinced him to come here. Now we both go, and he tells everyone he wishes he’d switched years ago.
The office is spotless, the chairs are comfortable, and the tech they use is top-notch. You can tell they invest in quality, and it makes the whole experience feel more professional.
Not just my name — they remember my dog’s name, my last vacation, the fact that I was nervous about getting a crown a year ago. It’s personal here. That matters.
From the moment you walk in, they make you feel at ease. The front desk is efficient, the hygienists are gentle but thorough, and the dentists are down-to-earth. It’s the kind of place you actually look forward to visiting.
Good vibes, skilled doctors, zero stress. I’ve sent five coworkers here and all of them had the same reaction: ‘Why didn’t I find this place sooner?’
I came in years ago with a mess of dental problems and a lot of embarrassment. The team never judged, just helped me fix things one step at a time. I’m proud of my smile now — and they’re a big reason why.
I had bounced around from dentist to dentist before finding this office. That was ten years ago. Now I can’t imagine going anywhere else. They earned my trust and loyalty.
