What are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are removable, transparent trays that move teeth in small planned steps. You wear each tray about 22 hours a day for one to two weeks, then switch to the next in the series until the teeth reach their planned position. At Sonoran Dental Arts, Dr. Taylor Field plans and supervises clear aligner treatment with Invisalign, the most widely used aligner system.
Clear Aligners vs. Braces
- Nearly invisible in photos, meetings, and everyday conversation
- Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing, so no food restrictions
- No brackets or wires to break, and fewer urgent visits
- Office checkups every 6 to 8 weeks to confirm the teeth are tracking to plan
Braces still win for some complex movements, and Dr. Field says so when that is the honest answer. For crowding, spacing, and relapse after old orthodontic treatment, aligners handle most adult cases.
Clear Aligners vs. Mail-Order Aligners
Mail-order aligner companies work from an impression kit and photos, with no dentist examining your teeth in person. Movement without an exam risks moving teeth with undiagnosed gum disease or decay. Here, treatment starts with an exam and X-rays, the plan is shown to you on screen before you commit, and Dr. Field checks the fit at every stage. If a tooth stops tracking, the plan is corrected in the office rather than by mail.
What Treatment Looks Like
First a consultation with a digital scan, then a treatment plan you approve, then trays delivered in series with checkups at the office. Most adult cases run 6 to 18 months depending on the movement needed. After treatment, a retainer holds the result.

Common questions
Are clear aligners the same as Invisalign?
Invisalign is the best-known brand of clear aligner. Sonoran Dental Arts treats with Invisalign, planned and supervised in person by Dr. Taylor Field.
How long do clear aligners take?
Most adult cases finish in 6 to 18 months. Simple spacing corrections can run shorter; heavier crowding runs longer. Your plan shows the expected timeline before you start.
Do clear aligners hurt?
New trays feel tight for a day or two, which is the pressure that moves the teeth. Most patients describe it as soreness rather than pain, and it fades as each tray settles.
Can I see what my teeth will look like before starting?
Yes. The digital scan produces a projection of the planned result, which Dr. Field reviews with you before you commit to treatment.
Why choose a dentist over a mail-order aligner kit?
An in-person exam first, X-rays that rule out gum disease and decay, and a dentist who checks the fit at every stage and corrects the plan when a tooth stops tracking.
