If you're looking for a way to straighten your smile without traditional metal braces, clear aligners may be the right fit. At Pesis Dental Group, Livonia-area patients can explore clear aligner treatment alongside our full range of orthodontic* options, with a plan built around your goals, schedule, and comfort.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a series of custom, removable trays that gradually shift your teeth into place. Unlike fixed metal braces, they can be taken out for eating, brushing, and flossing, which makes it easier to maintain your regular oral hygiene routine throughout treatment. Our practice offers Invisalign® clear aligners.
Clear Aligner Treatment Near Livonia
Our office is located at 29224 W 8 Mile Road in Farmington Hills, along the Livonia border, so Livonia patients can reach us without a long drive. With extended weekday hours and appointments on select Saturdays, it's easier to fit consultations and check-in visits into a busy work or family schedule. Treatment is personalized after a consultation to confirm whether aligners are the right approach for your bite and alignment needs.
What to Expect During Treatment
Treatment begins with a consultation and exam to evaluate your teeth and bite. If aligners are a good fit, your dentist will plan your treatment and provide a series of custom trays, each worn as directed before moving to the next. Regular check-in visits allow your dentist to monitor how your teeth are moving and adjust your plan if needed.
Clear Aligners vs. Braces: Which Is Right for You?
Both clear aligners and traditional braces can address crowding, spacing, and certain bite concerns. Aligners are removable and less visible, while traditional braces stay in place throughout treatment and may suit more complex cases. Your dentist can help you weigh the two based on your specific goals.
