You don’t need metal brackets or wires to achieve a straight, confident smile. At Vineyard Dental & Orthodontics in Paso Robles, we offer clear aligner therapy for patients looking to align their teeth in a comfortable and nearly invisible way. Whether you’re a busy professional or a teen who wants to skip traditional braces, clear aligners make orthodontic care more convenient than ever.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are custom-made, removable trays that gently shift your teeth into place over time. They’re worn for most of the day, taken out only for meals, brushing, and flossing. As you move through each set of aligners, your smile gets closer to its ideal position.
They offer the same great results as braces — just without the hardware.
Benefits of Clear Aligners
There’s a reason so many patients are choosing clear aligners over traditional braces. Here’s what makes them a popular option:
- Discreet appearance The clear material is nearly invisible, making them ideal for patients who prefer a low-key look.
- Comfortable fit No brackets or wires means less irritation to your cheeks and gums.
- Removable convenience You can eat what you like and maintain your regular oral hygiene routine without special tools.
- Fewer in-office visits Because your treatment is pre-planned using digital scans, you’ll only need occasional check-ins.
How the Process Works
Your aligner journey at Vineyard Dental & Orthodontics starts with a digital scan of your teeth. Here’s what happens next:
- Customized treatment plan. We use advanced software to map out each stage of your tooth movement.
- Aligner creation. Your custom trays are made to fit snugly and comfortably.
- Wear your aligners. You’ll switch to a new set every one to two weeks as your teeth gradually shift.
- Track your progress. We’ll monitor your alignment through check-ins to make sure everything is on track.
- Enjoy your new smile. Once treatment is complete, we’ll provide retainers to keep your results in place.
Most treatments take 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of your case.

- Mild to moderate crowding or spacing
