Clear Aligners in Port St. Lucie
Straighten Your Smile With Custom Clear Aligners
Why Choose Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a modern, nearly invisible orthodontic treatment designed to gently straighten your teeth without the look or feel of traditional braces. Each set of aligners is custom-made to fit your smile, gradually shifting your teeth into better alignment with precise, predictable movement.
At Desman Orthodontics, clear aligners are a popular choice for teens and adults seeking a low-profile orthodontic option that fits naturally into daily routines. They’re smooth, removable, and discreet, making them well suited for school, work, social events, and photos. Because aligners are designed using advanced digital technology, treatment is planned with a high level of precision, allowing your orthodontic plan to be shaped around your smile goals.
The Perks of Clear Aligners

What to Expect From Clear Aligner Treatment
Getting clear aligners is more than wearing trays, it’s a guided process. Your journey begins with digital scans, X-rays, and a review of your goals so your treatment plan is accurate from the start. Your custom aligners are created using advanced technology for a precise fit and controlled tooth movement.
Throughout treatment, you’ll advance to new aligners every one to two weeks, with scheduled visits to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments. After treatment is complete, custom retainers help preserve your results and protect your new smile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are clear aligners as effective as braces?
Yes, clear aligners can be just as effective as traditional braces for many patients. They work best for mild to moderate alignment concerns such as crowding, spacing, and minor bite issues. However, not every case is the same. During your consultation, Dr. Desman will evaluate your teeth, bite, and goals to determine whether clear aligners will deliver the results you’re looking for. If your needs are more complex, he may recommend braces as an alternative. Either way, your treatment plan is always personalized to ensure the most successful outcome.
How long do I need to wear my aligners each day?
For the best results, you’ll need to wear your aligners 20–22 hours daily. You’ll remove them only to eat, drink anything other than water, brush, and floss. Consistent wear ensures your teeth stay on track with the planned movement.
Patients who wear their aligners as instructed typically see progress every 1–2 weeks and complete treatment on schedule. Wearing them less often may slow down tooth movement and extend the duration of your treatment.
What can I eat or drink with clear aligners?
Because clear aligners are removable, there are no food restrictions—you can enjoy all your favorite meals and snacks. Just remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water to avoid staining or damaging them.
After eating, brush your teeth before putting your aligners back in to help keep them clean and clear. This routine not only protects your aligners but also helps maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout treatment.
Do clear aligners hurt?
Clear aligners are generally very comfortable. You may feel slight pressure or tightness when starting a new set, which is a normal sign that your teeth are moving. This feeling typically fades within a day or two.
Because the trays are smooth and metal-free, most patients experience significantly less irritation compared to traditional braces. If you ever have discomfort that feels unusual, our team is always here to help.
