A Discreet Alternative to Traditional Braces
Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of traditional metal braces. At Trapnell Orthodontics in Springville, we offer two industry-leading clear aligner systems, Invisalign and 3M Clarity Aligners, so patients can choose the option best suited to their smile goals. Both systems use custom-made, removable trays that gently shift teeth into alignment over time, giving patients an effective treatment option that fits easily into everyday life.
Clear aligner treatment can address a variety of orthodontic concerns, including crowding, spacing, and certain bite issues, depending on each patient's needs. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your smile and determine whether clear aligners are the right approach for reaching your orthodontic goals.

3M Clarity Aligners
3M Clarity Aligners use advanced 3D imaging technology to create trays that fit closely to the unique contours of your teeth. Patients choose this system for benefits including:

Built using 3M's proprietary materials science, these trays conform closely to your teeth for predictable, accurate movement. - Stain Resistance
The highly stain-resistant material keeps trays looking clear throughout treatment, even for patients who regularly drink coffee or tea. - Smooth Comfort
Carefully trimmed and polished edges help minimize irritation to the gums and soft tissue. - Case Versatility
Effective for a wide range of concerns, from mild spacing to more involved bite corrections.

- Custom Comfort
Advanced 3D digital analysis ensures each tray is built to fit your mouth precisely. - Efficient Treatment Time
Depending on the case, some patients complete treatment in as little as nine months. - Everyday Convenience
Removable trays mean you can eat your favorite foods and maintain your usual oral hygiene routine with ease. - Virtually Invisible Appearance

- Mild to moderate crowding or spacing between teeth
- A desire for a more discreet treatment option
- The discipline to wear aligners as directed, typically 20 to 22 hours per day
