Clear Aligners

Our clear aligners in Norwalk and the greater Fairfield County use a series of custom-made, removable trays made from smooth, BPA-free plastic. They fit snugly over your teeth to apply gentle pressure that gradually moves them into their ideal positions. Clear aligners are virtually invisible, which allows you to discreetly straighten your smile.

The Power of a Perfect Smile

• Discreet Treatment: No more metal brackets and wires! Clear aligners are nearly invisible, so you can keep smiling confidently throughout your treatment.
• Enhanced Comfort: Metal brackets and wires can irritate the gums and cause discomfort. Aligners are made from smooth plastic and are made to fit over the teeth to avoid any potential irritation.
• Removable for Convenience: Clear aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. This makes it easy to carry on with your daily life normally and keep up a good oral hygiene routine.
• Improved Oral Health: It’s much easier to clean teeth that are straight and not overlapping. This reduces your risk of cavities and gum disease overall.
• Boosted Confidence: A smile you love can significantly improve your self-esteem and confidence in social and professional settings.

What are OrthoFX Aligners?

We offer OrthoFX clear aligners, which were developed by a team that previously worked with Invisalign. OrthoFX clear aligners offer a high-tech, innovative approach to straightening teeth faster, more comfortably, and conveniently.

Choose from 3 types of aligners:

FXNiTime aligners

These are perfect for patients who prefer to wear their aligners overnight, which means you can effectively align your smile with just 9-10 hours of use a day!

Bright Aligners

These use a special material that not only straightens teeth but also gives the illusion of whiter teeth from the very start. If stains and alignment issues are bugging you, then they’re an excellent choice for patients looking to both align and brighten.

FXTetra Aligners

These apply additional pressure for more complex cases and can potentially shorten treatment time to as quickly as six months.

What to Expect

Your first step will be to visit us for an orthodontic consultation. Dr. Klein and his team will take a look at your teeth and discuss the concerns you have about your smile. We’ll then go over the different options OrthoFX offers, and together, we’ll decide which would be right for you.

Once you’ve chosen which aligners you’ll be using, Dr. Klein will use our advanced imaging technology to take digital impressions of your teeth. He will show you the expected progression of your teeth and how they should look by the time your treatment is complete. This will also give you an estimated timeline of how long your treatment will take.

We then send off your impressions to the OrthoFX lab so your custom series of aligners can be created. Once they’re ready, we’ll have you come in to fit your first set and give you a run-down on how to use them.

From here, we’ll have periodic check-ins at the office, but many will be via the app. This advanced remote monitoring system saves you the time and hassle of taking time out of your busy life for a quick check-up appointment.
