Straighten Your Smile with Clear Aligners at Jungle Roots
Clear Aligners
At Jungle Roots Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, we’re proud to offer clear aligner treatment for patients of all ages—kids, teens, and adults. If you’re looking for a comfortable, convenient, and virtually invisible way to improve your smile, clear aligners may be the perfect solution.
Why Adults Love Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are custom-made, removable trays designed to gently shift your teeth into their proper positions over time. Made from smooth, transparent plastic, they’re a discreet alternative to metal braces—no brackets, no wires, and no hassle. You wear the aligners for about 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Treatment typically lasts 9 to 15 months, and many patients start noticing changes in just a few weeks.
Clear aligners are especially popular with adults who want a low-profile way to straighten their teeth. Whether you’re working, parenting, or socializing, aligners fit easily into your daily routine—and most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.
Other benefits include:
- No food restrictions (just take them out to eat)
- Easier brushing and flossing
- No metal parts to cause irritation
- Fewer office visits compared to traditional braces
A Few Things to Know
- You must wear your aligners at least 22 hours a day for them to be effective.
- After treatment, you’ll need to wear a retainer to maintain your new smile.
- Clear aligners may not be suitable for very complex bite or alignment issues—but we’ll let you know what’s best after your consultation.

Are clear aligners just for teens?
Not at all! At Jungle Roots, we treat adults, teens, and even some older kids with clear aligners. Many adults love the low-profile look and convenience. It’s never too late to get the smile you’ve always wanted.
How long will I have to wear clear aligners?
Treatment time varies, but most patients wear aligners for about 9 to 15 months. You’ll start to see visible results within just a few months.
How often do I need to wear them?
To stay on track, you’ll need to wear your aligners 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink (anything other than water), brush, and floss.
Will people be able to tell I'm wearing them?
Clear aligners are designed to be nearly invisible, so most people won’t even notice. They’re a great option if you want a more discreet orthodontic treatment.
Do I have to avoid certain foods?
Nope! Since you remove your aligners to eat, you can enjoy all your favorite foods—just be sure to brush your teeth before putting them back in.
What happens after treatment ends?
You’ll need to wear a retainer at night to keep your teeth in their new positions. This step is important to maintain your results.
