Straighten Your Smile Without Wires or Brackets
At Trapnell Orthodontics in Payson, we offer two industry-leading clear aligner systems, Invisalign and 3M Clarity Aligners, so you can achieve the smile you have always wanted with a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Both systems use custom-made, removable aligner trays that gradually and gently straighten teeth without the wires and brackets used in traditional braces. Clear aligners also allow you to maintain your normal eating and oral hygiene routines, making treatment convenient and easy to incorporate into your daily life.
Whether you are drawn to Invisalign's global reputation or the precision engineering behind 3M Clarity Aligners, our Payson team will help you find the clear aligner system that best fits your smile goals and your daily routine.

3M Clarity Aligners for a Discreet Smile
3M Clarity Aligners are a highly precise, comfortable clear aligner system designed to deliver exceptional results. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, each set of trays is custom fabricated to fit your teeth and mouth with accuracy, making 3M Clarity Aligners a popular choice for patients seeking a discreet and effective orthodontic solution.
3M Clarity Aligners offer a number of benefits, including:
- Precision fit: Engineered using 3M's proprietary materials science, producing trays that conform closely to the contours of your teeth for a snug, accurate fit that moves teeth predictably.
- Stain resistance: Made with a highly stain-resistant material, so your trays stay clear and discreet throughout treatment, even for patients who drink coffee or tea regularly.
- Smooth comfort: The edges of each tray are carefully trimmed and polished, minimizing irritation to the gums and soft tissue for a comfortable day-to-day experience.
- Versatility: Effective for a broad range of cases, from mild spacing and crowding to more complex bite corrections, making 3M Clarity Aligners a flexible option for many patients.
Invisalign for Comfortable, Convenient Treatment
Invisalign is one of the most widely recognized clear aligner systems, trusted by millions of patients and orthodontists around the world. Using SmartTrack material and ClinCheck treatment planning technology, Invisalign offers a proven, highly customizable treatment experience for a wide range of orthodontic cases.
Invisalign offers a number of benefits, including:
- Comfort: An advanced, computerized 3D analysis system is used to custom design your aligner trays, so they fit well and feel comfortable throughout treatment.
- Efficient timing: Depending on the case, treatment can take less time than traditional braces, and in many cases can be completed in as little as nine months.
- Everyday convenience: The aligner trays are easy to use and fully removable, so you can continue eating the foods you love and keep up with your normal dental hygiene routine. Brushing with Invisalign is as simple as removing your trays, brushing your teeth, and putting them back in.
- Discreet appearance: Because Invisalign trays are clear, most people will not notice you are straightening your teeth. If you have a social occasion where you would rather not wear your trays, you can remove them, just remember to put them back in as soon as you can, since the more consistently they are worn, the sooner treatment will be complete.
What to Expect With Clear Aligner Treatment
Getting started with clear aligners at our Payson office is simple and designed around your schedule. Here is what the process typically looks like:
1
Initial Consultation
We evaluate your teeth, bite, and smile goals to determine whether Invisalign or 3M Clarity Aligners is the better fit for your needs.
2
Digital Scans and Treatment Planning
Using 3D imaging, we map out exactly how your teeth will move over the course of treatment and create a personalized aligner sequence.
3
Receiving Your Custom Aligners
You receive a series of custom-made aligner trays, each designed to gradually shift your teeth closer to their final position.
4
Wearing and Changing Your Trays
You will wear each set of aligners as directed, typically switching to a new set every one to two weeks, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss.
5
Progress Checks
You will visit our Payson office periodically so our team can confirm your teeth are moving as planned and provide your next sets of aligners.
6
Retention
Once treatment is complete, a retainer helps maintain your new, straighter smile for years to come.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a good option for many teens and adults dealing with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite issues, and both Invisalign and 3M Clarity Aligners can also address more complex cases depending on your specific needs. Because clear aligners require consistent daily wear to stay on track, they tend to work best for patients who are committed to following their treatment schedule closely.
During your consultation, our Payson team will evaluate your smile and let you know whether clear aligners are a good match or whether another treatment option might serve you better.
