Straighten Your Smile — Without Braces

Want a straighter smile without the wires and brackets? At Civic Dental, Dr. Dunya Antwan offers clear aligners in Vista, CA — a modern, discreet way to correct crooked teeth, gaps, and bite issues for teens and adults. Whether you're preparing for a big life event or simply want more confidence in your smile, clear aligners deliver powerful results with minimal disruption to your daily life.

Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are removable, virtually invisible, and custom-fit for comfort. You can eat what you want, clean your teeth easily, and straighten your smile without anyone noticing.

Clear aligners are a series of transparent, BPA-free plastic trays that gradually shift your teeth into better alignment.

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a series of transparent, BPA-free plastic trays that gradually shift your teeth into better alignment. Each set is worn for about two weeks before moving to the next in the series. Over time, the aligners gently guide your teeth into their desired position.

Benefits of clear aligners include:

Discreet appearance — nearly invisible when worn
Removable — eat, drink, brush, and floss without restrictions
No metal wires or brackets to irritate your mouth
Fewer office visits compared to traditional braces

They’re ideal for mild to moderate cases of crowding, spacing, or bite correction.

Are Clear Aligners Right for Me?

Clear aligners can treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including:

Crowded teeth
Gaps or spacing
Overbites and underbites
Crossbites and open bites
Relapse from previous orthodontic treatment

If you're unsure whether aligners or braces are the better choice, Dr. Antwan will assess your case during a personalized consultation.

FAQs: Clear Aligners

How long does clear aligner treatment take?

Most cases are completed within 6 to 18 months. Simple cosmetic alignment may take even less time.

Are clear aligners painful?

You may feel mild pressure or tightness with each new set, which is a sign the aligners are working. Any discomfort is usually short-lived.

How often do I need to wear them?

For best results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours per day — only removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.

Are clear aligners as effective as braces?

Yes, for many cases. Clear aligners are effective for mild to moderate alignment issues. Severe cases may still require traditional braces.

Will insurance cover clear aligners?

Many PPO dental plans include orthodontic benefits that apply to clear aligner therapy. Visit our Patient Information page to learn more.
