Fairfield & Oxford Clear Aligners
Low-Profile Treatment,
High-Profile Smile
If you want a straighter, healthier smile but need a treatment that flies under the radar, then Clear Aligners at Uptown Orthodontics can help.
Confident, Comfortable Treatment from Start to Finish
Smile confidently and comfortably with a clear aligner system that can get you the healthy, beautiful grin you deserve without noticeable brackets and wires.
Our team’s clear aligners are made with a durable, comfortable, transparent plastic material that will gently nudge your teeth into the correct alignment. So, go ahead and show off your smile while keeping your treatment low-profile.
Why Our Patients Choose
Clear Aligners
Unlike metal braces, clear aligners give you a hard-to-see treatment option that’s also removable — unlike clear braces.
Let’s take a closer look at why our Fairfield and Oxford patients love clear aligners.
Less Noticeable
Your clear aligners are just that — clear! They’re made of transparent materials so your treatment remains undetectable throughout your smile journey.
Unlike metal braces, your plastic aligners won’t shine noticeably — instead, your aligners will keep your smile out of the spotlight until it’s ready for its debut.
More Reliable
Many companies sell direct-to-consumer (DTC) clear aligners. Though convenient, you can’t vouch for their safety and quality — and you miss out on the expertise of a trained, experienced orthodontist.
That’s why aligners are a better option across the board. These clear trays use SmartTrack — a BPA-free, medical-grade thermoplastic material — to safely align your teeth.
You’ll also have expert orthodontists like Dr. Skabelund or Dr. Jacobs to help guide your smile journey and get your teeth to their intended destination: a beautiful, healthy, more functional grin.
You-First Customization
DTC aligners often come with a DIY impression kit. But there’s a catch: an ill-fitting set of clear aligners.
At Uptown Orthodontics, we value the importance of customized treatments and personalized plans. That’s why Dr. Skabelund, Dr. Jacobs, and our smile team take digital scans and 3D impressions of your teeth.
These images help us create clear aligners that fit comfortably and securely and are specifically designed for your unique smile needs.
Unparalleled Comfort
Our clear aligners are made to be easy on you. They cut down on the “ouch” and the hassle while they gently move your teeth to where they should be.
How? Molded from smooth, flexible, BPA-free plastic, clear aligners fit your mouth so perfectly you may forget you’re wearing them.
No Dietary Restrictions
In the past, orthodontic treatment meant having to follow strict rules about what you eat, drink, and clean.
Our aligners break the rules and lets you enjoy your favorite snacks and brush your teeth with ease.
Just make sure you wear the aligners for at least 22 hours a day to get the best results.
Embark On Your Aligner Journey
Uptown Orthodontics balances fun with cutting-edge treatment.
Together with Dr. Skabelund, Dr. Jacobs, and our team of smile experts, you’ll get the smile transformation of a lifetime. Here’s what’s in store for your smile journey.
Meet the Experts
Think of this as the getting-to-know-you stage of your smile journey.
At your free consultation at our Fairfield or Oxford office, Dr. Skabelund, Dr. Jacobs, and our expert team will:
- Examine your current smile
- Discuss your goals and concerns
- Review your dental records
- Determine if clear aligners are the right treatment for your needs
Make a Good Impression
Why resort to gooey impressions when we have digital impressions? Our team will take photos and digital impressions using our high-tech iTero scanner.
These images are more accurate and comfortable and provide a better look at your smile — and they require much less cleanup.
You’ll even be able to see what your smile will look like at every stage of your treatment as Dr. Skabelund or Dr. Jacobs create a custom map of your orthodontic journey.
Rock Your Clear Aligner Set
Clear aligners don’t appear out of nowhere. We’ll send your digital impressions to Invisalign for manufacturing. Then your aligners will be delivered to our Fairfield or Oxford office for pickup and fitting.
You’ll wear your aligners for at least 22 hours per day, taking them out to eat (or drink anything other than water) as well as to brush and floss your teeth.
Check Out Your Progress
Every few weeks, we’ll have you visit our office to:
- Get an update on your progress
- Replace your clear aligners with the next set
- Assess your smile and adjust your treatment as needed
Say Goodbye Aligners, Hello Retainers
When you finish your aligner treatment, your teeth can tend to shift back into their old habits.
To keep your new smile straight, healthy, and looking amazing, you’ll need to trade your last tray of aligners in for a custom retainer that will make sure your teeth stay in place — and your new smile lasts a lifetime.
