Clear Orthodontic Aligners in Northborough
Are you looking for a solution for crooked or crowded teeth but dread the thought of spending years in metal braces?
At Northborough Family Dental, we offer orthodontic treatment with clear aligners that are appropriate for adults and older teens. The aligners are a popular alternative to traditional braces because they work quickly and are discreet and comfortable to wear. Your teeth are gently repositioned using clear plastic aligners that are virtually invisible and much gentler on your mouth than metal braces. This treatment is exactly like Invisalign but without the expensive Invisalign price.
Another advantage of clear aligners is that you can remove the aligners for meals, so you don’t have to give up your favorite foods during treatment. You will also be able to thoroughly brush and floss because there are no brackets and wires to try to clean around.
How The Process Works
Dr. Moheban first takes your impressions with his state-of-the-art 3-D CAD/CAM scanning camera and designs your clear aligners with state-of-the-art 3-D computer imaging technology. As he plans your treatment, he will share the virtual results with you so you can see how your smile will be transformed using the aligners.
He sends the plan to a custom lab that customizes your aligners for your needs. Dr. Moheban and his team then 3-D print your orthodontic models and fabricate your aligners in our specialized orthodontic lab. You will receive several sets of custom aligners with instructions to wear each for about two weeks, then move to the next set in the series. As you go through treatment, you’ll notice the change as your teeth move into their correct position.
Every time you switch to a new set, you will notice that the aligners feel very snug. But as the weeks pass, you’ll see that they gradually fit more comfortably. That’s how clear aligner treatment works – each set of aligners is designed to gently move your teeth into the proper position as treatment progresses.
We’ll make appointments to see you about once every four to six weeks so we can check on your progress. Treatment with clear aligners usually takes about 10 to 12 months.
Convenient, Personalized Care in Northborough

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear aligners are the modern alternative to braces.
It's true! In many cases, patients who require braces can consider clear aligners as an alternative.
Here are a few things that dental aligners offer that braces do not.
- You can straighten your teeth without the metal and wire look of braces.
- You can clean your mouth and aligner easier because the system is removable.

How do aligners work?
After your comprehensive oral check-up to ensure that you are a good candidate for clear aligners, your Northborough dentist will use 3-D imaging technology to measure the exact dimensions of your teeth.
This allows us to create a custom aligner that is nearly invisible when worn.
You will wear the aligner for around twenty-two hours a day. Each successive set of aligners will push your teeth slowly into place. Throughout the treatment, you will visit the dentist to monitor the progress of your treatment.
