Oasis Dental announced the expansion of its orthodontic services to offer clear aligners in Aurora, CO. The service expansion, managed by Dr. Ryan Duong, provides local patients with a removable alternative to traditional fixed metal appliances.

Clear aligner therapy utilizes custom-manufactured transparent aligner trays engineered to adjust tooth position incrementally over time. The diagnostic process begins with a comprehensive intraoral examination using three-dimensional digital scanning technology. This diagnostic imaging generates a high-resolution 3D digital model of the patient’s dentition, replacing conventional impression materials. Computer-aided design and manufacturing software then calculates the precise physiological movement of each individual tooth, establishing a step-by-step digital treatment map before tray fabrication commences.

The custom aligner trays are constructed from medical-grade, BPA-free thermoplastic polymers designed to apply calibrated, continuous force to targeted teeth. As treatment progresses, patients transition through a sequential series of aligners—typically worn for one to two weeks per set—gradually guiding the teeth into corrected positions. Clear aligner treatment can be adapted for adult and adolescent patients who have fully erupted permanent dentition. Because the trays are removable, patients can maintain standard daily oral hygiene, such as brushing and flossing, without the structural obstacles posed by traditional fixed archwires and metal brackets. Removing the aligners during meals also eliminates dietary restrictions commonly associated with conventional orthodontic hardware.

During the preliminary evaluation process, clinical assessments evaluate whether clear aligner therapy is suitable for the patient’s specific orthodontic concerns, such as mild to moderate dental crowding, spacing gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Prior to initiating alignment, complete oral health assessments, including periodontal evaluations and diagnostic digital radiographs, are conducted to ensure surrounding bone structures and gingival tissues are healthy. For certain clinical cases, small, tooth-colored composite attachments may be bonded to designated teeth to provide necessary mechanical leverage for specialized rotational or vertical movement. Predictable clinical outcomes depend on patient compliance, as the aligners must be worn consistently for 20 to 22 hours per day, removed only for eating, drinking non-water beverages, and performing routine oral hygiene.

In addition to day-to-day usability, proper maintenance of the aligner trays is essential to maintain oral health and aligner clarity throughout treatment. Patients clean the trays daily using gentle cleansing solutions and soft-bristled brushes to prevent plaque accumulation, bacterial buildup, and material staining. Periodic clinical monitoring appointments are scheduled every four to eight weeks throughout the treatment period. These appointments allow the clinical team to track movement progress against the initial digital treatment plan, evaluate soft tissue response, make minor clinical adjustments, and issue subsequent sets of custom aligners. If minor variations occur during treatment, refinement scans can be performed to create supplemental alignment trays. Following active aligner therapy, post-treatment retention strategies, including custom clear retainers, are implemented to stabilize tooth positions while the surrounding bone tissue completes the remodeling process.

“Incorporating clear aligner therapy into our practice allows us to offer an alternative option for individuals seeking orthodontic corrections,” said Dr. Ryan Duong. “Digital treatment planning allows patients to visualize each stage of tooth movement, providing clear insight into expected treatment steps, overall timelines, and clinical goals from the initial assessment onward.”

Oasis Dental provides diagnostic consultations to assess structural candidacy and determine individual treatment timelines for clear aligners in Aurora, CO.
