Your journey to a straighter smile begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Sommer. During this visit, Dr. Sommer will evaluate your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine if Clear Aligners are the right option for you.

Custom Treatment Plan

If Clear Aligners are the right choice, Dr. Sommer will create a customized treatment plan. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, he will map out the precise movements of your teeth and design a series of aligners that will gradually shift your teeth into place.

Wearing Your Aligners

Throughout your treatment, you’ll have regular check-ins with Dr. Sommer to monitor your progress and ensure everything is going smoothly. These visits are typically every 6 to 8 weeks.

Reveal Your New Smile

Once your treatment is complete, you’ll be given retainers to help maintain your new smile. With proper care, your beautifully straight teeth will last a lifetime.
