Clear Aligners
in Las Vegas.
Clear aligners are thin, custom-made trays that move your teeth into place a little at a time. They're discreet, they come out when you eat, and they can straighten many common spacing, crowding and bite problems.
Schedule Your Consultation
More than just aesthetics.
While a perfectly straight smile looks fantastic, the benefits of correcting your bite go far beyond cosmetics. Crooked or crowded teeth are notoriously difficult to clean, creating hiding spots for plaque and bacteria that lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
A misaligned bite can also cause uneven wear on your enamel and may contribute to jaw discomfort. Straighter teeth are usually easier to brush and floss, which helps protect your teeth and gums over time.
Why people choose clear aligners
Three everyday reasons teens and adults come to Silver Mountain Dental on Bonanza Road for clear aligners.
Hard to Spot

Out for Meals
Take your aligners out to eat, brush, then put them back in. Your usual foods stay on the menu, and brushing and flossing work the way they always have.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on how much your teeth need to move. Small corrections may take about 3 to 6 months; larger bite corrections can take 12 to 18 months or more. Your dentist will estimate your treatment time at your consultation.
For the treatment to be effective and stay on schedule, you must wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. You should only remove them to eat, drink anything other than water, brush, and floss.
Most people feel some pressure or tightness for a day or two after switching to a new set of trays. That's a sign the aligners are moving your teeth, and it usually eases quickly. The trays have smooth edges, so there's nothing sharp to rub against your cheeks.
You should brush your aligners gently with a soft toothbrush and water every time you take them out. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. We also recommend using specialized aligner cleaning crystals or tablets a few times a week to keep them crystal clear and odor-free.
