Clear Aligners in Lee’s Summit
Confident Smiles Without the Brackets
At Lakewood Orthodontics, Dr. Ravi Rajanna offers advanced aligner systems designed for your life, not just your smile. With options like Invisalign, 3M Clarity, and ULab, we make it easy to straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Aligners are custom-made plastic trays that guide your teeth into place—no brackets, no wires, no hassle. At Lakewood Orthodontics, we use trusted systems like Invisalign, 3M Clarity, and ULab to give teens and adults flexible options tailored to their needs.
These clear trays are designed to be worn most of the day but can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. That means fewer lifestyle changes and more comfort throughout treatment.
Whether you're looking for a subtle fix or full smile transformation, Dr. Ravi will help you choose the right aligner system during your consultation. And because we offer multiple brands, your plan stays focused on results—not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Why Patients Choose Aligner Treatment
Aligners offer more than a low-profile look—they make treatment easier from start to finish.
Nearly Invisible Trays
Clear plastic aligners blend into your smile, so most people won’t even notice you're wearing them. That makes them a favorite for teens and adults alike.
Smooth, Comfortable Fit
With no metal parts to poke or rub, aligners are easy on your cheeks and gums. You get a gentle but effective treatment that’s easy to wear every day.
Eat What You Like
Aligners come out at mealtime, so you don’t have to skip your favorite foods. No brackets mean no off-limits snacks or complicated cleanup routines.
Simple to Keep Clean
You’ll brush and floss just like normal—no threading or extra tools required. Clean trays mean a cleaner, healthier smile from start to finish.
Less Time in the Chair
Aligners don’t require tightening, so your visits are short and focused on progress. Fewer appointments means less disruption to your schedule.
What to Expect With Aligner Treatment
Here’s how aligner treatment works at Lakewood Orthodontics, from your first scan to your final retainer.
Your First Visit
Dr. Ravi will scan your smile with a digital 3D scanner and walk you through your treatment options. No goopy impressions—just a quick, comfortable start.
Your Custom Aligner Plan
Once we’ve mapped out your tooth movements, we’ll order a full set of aligners built to guide your smile step by step.
Daily Wear
Wear your trays 20–22 hours a day, switching to a new set every one to two weeks. Remove them to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
Quick Progress Checks
We’ll see you every few weeks to make sure everything’s on track. Most visits are quick and don’t involve any adjustments.
Retainers to Keep You Smiling
After your final tray, we’ll fit you with a retainer to keep your teeth in place. It’s the last step to locking in your results.
Personalized for Your Smile—and Your Life
Every aligner plan we create is designed around your smile, your schedule, and your comfort.
Tailored to You
Every aligner is made from a precise scan of your teeth, so the fit is comfortable and the results are spot on.
Works With Your Schedule
School, sports, presentations, travel—your life doesn’t pause for orthodontics. Aligner treatment keeps pace without getting in the way.
Smart Solutions for Complex Cases
Some patients may benefit from a mix of aligners and limited braces. If your case needs extra attention, Dr. Ravi will walk you through every option.
Are Clear Aligners Right for You?
Aligner therapy is a great fit for many teens and adults who want a more discreet alternative to braces. You may be a candidate if you’re dealing with:
- Mild to moderate crowding or spacing
- Overbites, underbites, or crossbites
- A previously relapsed smile after braces
At your consultation in Lee’s Summit, Dr. Ravi will evaluate your bite and recommend the approach that fits your goals best.
