About the Treatment

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners (also called invisible braces or removable orthodontic trays) are custom-made, transparent plastic trays that gradually move your teeth into the right position. They are comfortable, nearly invisible, and you can take them out to eat and brush your teeth.

Unlike traditional metal braces, clear aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free and FDA-cleared plastic that fits snugly over your teeth. You wear each set of trays for about one to two weeks. Each set gently shifts your teeth closer to their ideal position. Most patients in Boca Raton and Boynton Beach complete treatment in 6 to 18 months.

Clear aligners correct malocclusion — meaning crooked or misaligned teeth. They treat dental crowding (overlapping teeth), gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. They are a great option for adults and teens across South Florida, including patients in Delray Beach, Coral Springs, Parkland, and Deerfield Beach who want a discreet way to improve their smile.

All of the aligner materials we use at Zipper Orthodontics are BPA-free and FDA-cleared. Dr. Zipper is an AAO member and board-certified orthodontist who uses safe, biocompatible materials for every patient. Our friendly team makes the entire process easy and comfortable — especially for children and teens in Palm Beach County.

Benefits of Clear Aligners

Nearly Invisible

Clear, transparent trays blend with your natural smile so most people won't even notice you're in treatment.

Removable

Take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss. No food restrictions and easy oral hygiene.

Comfortable & Painless

Smooth plastic trays mean no brackets poking your cheeks or wires irritating your gums. Most patients say the process is painless.

Fewer Office Visits

Check-ins are typically every 6–8 weeks, which means less time away from work or school.

BPA-Free & FDA-Cleared

Our aligners are made from biocompatible, BPA-free, FDA-cleared plastic — safe and non-toxic for patients of all ages.

Digital Treatment Planning

We use advanced 3D scanning to map your treatment from start to finish — so you can preview your amazing results before you begin.

How It Works

How Do Clear Aligners Work?

Clear aligners work by using a series of custom-made plastic trays that apply gentle, steady pressure to your teeth. You switch to a new set of trays every one to two weeks. Each tray moves your teeth a little bit closer to their final position. The easy process takes 6 to 18 months from start to finish.

Free Consultation & Digital Scan

Visit our Boca Raton or Boynton Beach office for a complimentary evaluation. We take a painless 3D digital scan of your teeth — no goopy impressions. Our friendly team will discuss your goals and answer all your questions.

2

Custom Treatment Plan

Dr. Brandon Zipper designs a personalized plan using advanced software that maps every stage of your tooth movement (orthodontic staging). You will see a digital preview of your amazing results before treatment even begins.

3

Wear Your Aligners

You receive your custom aligner trays and wear each set for about 1–2 weeks, 20–22 hours per day. Remove them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Check-ins are typically every 6–8 weeks — fewer visits than traditional braces.

4

Reveal Your New Smile

Once your treatment is complete, you enjoy a beautifully straight smile. We fit you with a retainer (orthodontic retention appliance) to keep your amazing results lasting for years to come.

Our Aligner Systems

Which Clear Aligner Brand Is Right for You?

At Zipper Orthodontics, we offer a curated selection of clear aligners including Invisalign®, Spark™, and Angel Aligners™. While Invisalign is the industry standard for complex bite corrections using SmartTrack® material, Spark Aligners offer superior clarity and TruGEN™ stain resistance for aesthetic-focused patients. Angel Aligners represent the next generation of AI-driven orthodontics, often providing a more budget-friendly, efficient solution for mild-to-moderate crowding. By utilizing 3D iTero scans and CBCT imaging, we tailor each treatment to the patient's specific dental anatomy rather than a one-size-fits-all brand approach.
