Helotes Clear Aligners
No Metal in Sight
Cedar Springs Dental's clear aligner treatment gives you the smile you've always wanted—without the hassle of metal braces.
These aligners are nearly invisible, so you can get the treatment you need while maintaining a low profile.
The Magic Behind Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer you the same great results as metal braces without letting the world know you're undergoing orthodontic treatment.
At Cedar Springs Dental, we offer clear aligner trays that are custom-made, super easy to use, and nearly invisible trays to slowly shift your teeth into straighter alignment.
If Dr. Ho recommends clear aligners for you, our team will start with a 3D scan of your teeth. Your scan helps us make a sequence of aligner trays that you'll wear throughout your treatment.
You'll wear each set for about two weeks before moving on to the next one. Each set is designed to make gradual adjustments to the alignment of your teeth. Because the aligners are removable, you can take them out while eating, brushing, and flossing.
Treatment You Can’t See, Benefits You Can’t Beat
Clear aligners take orthodontic treatment to the next level. They’re able to handle a variety of cases, so you’ll have a clear, comfortable upgrade from traditional braces.
Let’s break down what separates them from the competition.
You're the Blueprint
Each set of clear aligners is custom-made to your exact dental structure, so you’ll have a comfortable and super-effective treatment.
By using advanced 3D modeling, we create a precise roadmap to your new smile. We can even glimpse what your future smile will look like with our modern technology!
Discreet Treatment
Clear aligners are all about being low-key and stylish. At Cedar Springs Dental, we've got the newest, most advanced options made to fit right into your life without anyone noticing.
Enhanced Comfort & Convenience
Our clear aligners are made to be easy on you. They cut down on the “ouch” and the hassle while they gently move your teeth to where they should be.
How? Because they’re removable! You can pop out your aligners to sip your morning coffee, have a piece of your favorite candy, and floss in every nook and cranny of your smile.
Supremely Comfortable
Molded from smooth, flexible, BPA-free plastic, clear aligners fit your mouth so perfectly that you may forget you’re wearing them.

01
Consult With Dr. Ho
Drop by for a no-cost conversation with Dr. Ho. We’ll explore whether clear aligners are your ticket to a smile so bright you’ll have to wear shades (yep, we went there!).
02
Go Digital With Your Grin
Next, our team will take photos and digital impressions using our high-tech iTero scanner. We then put this information into a computer program to create an extremely accurate 3D model of your mouth.
Then, Dr. Ho will adjust the position of each individual tooth directly on the 3D model giving them complete control over your tooth movements.
You’ll even be able to see what your smile will look like at every stage of treatment!
03
Pick Up Your Custom Clear Aligners
Once you get your aligners, you'll wear them for 20 to 22 hours per day, taking them out only to eat, drink, and brush and floss your teeth.
04
Smile Progress Checkpoints
You’ll get a fresh set of aligners every couple of weeks. Schedule regular check-ins every six to eight weeks.
05
Reveal Your New Smile
When you remove your last set of clear aligners, you'll have straight teeth and a healthy bite.
We'll design and print a custom, clear, removable retainer just for you. Wearing a retainer will ensure your results last a lifetime; eventually, you'll only have to wear it at night.
06
Trade-In Your Aligners for Retainers
When you finish your clear aligners treatment, your teeth can tend to shift back into their old habits.
To keep your new smile straight, healthy, and looking amazing, you’ll need to trade your last tray of aligners in for a custom retainer that will make sure your teeth stay in place — and your new smile lasts a lifetime.
