Clear Aligners in Somerville, NJ

Straighten your teeth without metal braces — in as little as 6 months.

clear aligners uses a series of clear, custom-made plastic aligners to gently shift your teeth into the desired position. They are nearly invisible when worn, removable for eating and brushing, and comfortable enough to forget you have them on. NJ DenTales Group is a certified clear aligners provider serving Somerville and all of New Jersey.

Is clear aligners right for you?

clear aligners can treat most of the issues that traditional braces fix:

• Crowded or overlapping teeth
• Gaps and spacing between teeth
• Overbite, underbite, and crossbite
• Mildly rotated or tilted teeth
• Relapse after prior orthodontic treatment

The NJ DenTales Group clear aligners process

1. Free consultation. Dr. Anand evaluates your smile, discusses your goals, and confirms you are a good candidate.
2. Digital scan & treatment plan. We use a 3D iTero scanner — no messy putty impressions — to map your teeth. You will see a preview of your future smile.
3. Custom aligners. Your series of aligners is manufactured and shipped to our office.
4. Progress check-ins. Every 6-8 weeks, you visit for a quick progress check.
5. Retention. After your treatment ends, you wear a custom retainer to keep your new smile locked in place.

How long does it take?

Most clear aligners cases at our Somerville office complete in 6 to 18 months, depending on complexity. Mild cases can finish in as little as 3-6 months using clear aligners Express. You wear each aligner for about 2 weeks before advancing to the next in the series — and aligners are worn 20-22 hours per day for best results.

How much does clear aligners cost?

clear aligners typically costs between $3,500 and $7,000 at our practice, depending on complexity. Most dental insurance plans that cover orthodontics cover clear aligners. We also offer interest-free payment plans through CareCredit so you can start treatment without a lump-sum payment.
