Clear Aligners in Fairfield, CT
Straighten Your Smile Without Braces
Clear aligners offer a modern, comfortable way to achieve a beautifully aligned smile without the appearance or restrictions of traditional braces. At the Center for Aesthetic & Comprehensive Dentistry, Dr. Joseph Owen customizes aligner treatment plans for adults and teens who want a more confident smile with minimal disruption to their daily life.
The smooth, transparent trays are nearly invisible when worn and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing — giving you freedom and flexibility throughout treatment.

What Clear Aligners Can Fix
Custom clear aligners can address a variety of orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps or spaces between teeth
- Mild to moderate bite misalignment
- Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
For patients with more complex alignment needs, Dr. Owen will discuss whether alternative orthodontic options are recommended.
How Clear Aligner Treatment Works
- Consultation & Smile Assessment – We evaluate your teeth, bite, and overall oral health to confirm you’re a candidate for aligners.
- Digital Impressions & Planning – High-precision scans allow us to design a custom treatment plan and project your final results.
- Custom Aligner Fabrication – A series of trays are created to gradually guide your teeth into position.
- Progressive Movement – You’ll wear each set of aligners for 1–2 weeks before moving to the next in the series.
- Retention Phase – Once treatment is complete, we provide retainers to help you maintain your results.
Benefits of Clear Aligners
- Virtually invisible when worn
- Comfortable, smooth edges without wires or brackets
- Removable for meals and oral hygiene
- Fewer in-office adjustments than traditional braces
- Predictable results with digital treatment planning
Pairing Clear Aligners With Other Cosmetic Services
