Clear Braces in Santa Fe

Clear braces are an invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces. To discuss clear braces in the Santa Fe NM area, please contact us to schedule an appointment (link).

Our office offers two different options, depending on your needs and goals, using SureSmile or Clarity aligners. For information on SureSmile, please visit www.suresmile.com. For information on Clarity, please visit www.solventum.com.

• Both systems use a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
• The aligners are made through a combination of Dr. Alm‘s expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology.
• You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
• As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Alm has prescribed.
• You’ll visit Dr. Alm about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
• Total treatment time averages 9 – 15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.
