Clear Aligners in Queen Creek, AZ

Get a straighter smile with clear, removable aligners designed to gradually improve the alignment of your teeth. Marketplace Dental Excellence provides clear aligner treatment in Queen Creek, AZ for patients looking for a discreet alternative to traditional braces.

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners, also called teeth aligners, are custom-made, removable trays that gradually move your teeth into a straighter position. Instead of using brackets and wires, the aligners fit over your teeth and apply gentle, consistent pressure to help improve tooth alignment over the course of treatment.

Because clear aligners are removable and less noticeable than traditional braces, they can be a convenient option for patients who want to straighten their teeth while maintaining a more natural-looking smile. Our dentist will evaluate your teeth and bite to determine whether clear aligner treatment is appropriate for you.

How Clear Aligner Treatment Works

Clear aligner treatment follows a planned process that starts with an evaluation of your smile and continues with customized care as your teeth gradually move. At Marketplace Dental Excellence, our dentist can guide you through each stage so you know what to expect from your clear aligner treatment.

Consultation and Evaluation

Your treatment begins with a consultation to assess your teeth and overall smile. Our dentist will look at your tooth alignment and discuss what you would like to improve. This evaluation helps determine whether clear aligners are appropriate for your dental needs.

Treatment Planning

If clear aligners are a suitable option, our dentist will develop a treatment plan based on your teeth and treatment goals. The plan is designed to guide your teeth toward a straighter alignment through a series of clear aligners.

Wearing Your Aligners

Clear aligners are removable trays that you wear as part of your treatment plan. Each stage is designed to gradually move your teeth toward their planned positions. Because the aligners can be removed, they can fit into your regular oral care routine.

Follow-Up Care

Regular follow-up care allows our dentist to monitor how your teeth are progressing throughout treatment. Our dentist can assess your progress and make adjustments to your treatment plan when needed, helping keep your clear aligner treatment on track.

Clear Aligners vs. Traditional Braces

Clear aligners and traditional braces can both help straighten teeth, but they use different approaches. Clear aligners use a series of removable trays, while traditional braces use brackets and wires that remain attached to the teeth throughout treatment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Update to my review from a while back. I started going myself last week. As someone who worked in dental for ten years and still has bad dental anxiety, Dr. Stone is great. I presented with tooth pain. Although he tried to convince me to save the tooth (as that is his job) he ultimately listened to what I wanted and took it out. The tooth gave him a challenge, but the entire time he kept me calm... made me laugh... and didnt make me feel bad when I needed breaks. I have full faith he will help me get my dental health back and in turn making me more confident in my smile. Highly recommend.

My 6 year old daughter had her first dental appointment and cleaning today. I was a nervous wreck but the staff was so amazing and kept her calm (and I) calm. I did not get the technicians name that did her x-rays but the technician was so patient and calm and quick with her. Dr. Smith then came in and made my daughter feel so comfortable and helped her and us, as her parents, understand the areas she needed to work on. Cari the hygienist explained to my daughter what she was doing every step of the way so she wouldn't be scared and they even gave us an estimate for what we were looking at for the next 6 month appointment. Yasmira and the rest of the staff up front were so friendly and welcoming. Our visit overall was wonderful from start to finish. The office is very clean and cozy and feels like a home instead of dental office. Highly recommend for all your family needs!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a root canal done, and I was very pleased with my treatment. Both the dentist and the dental hygienist were very very professional. I’ve been a person that’s always dreaded going to the dentist, but no more not at this office.. Everyone is extremely professional, courteous, and understanding
