In many ways, Reveal aligners are like Invisalign®. However, Reveal may offer distinct advantages in comparison. For example, Reveal aligners do not require buttons or attachments to help guide teeth into position. Reveal is also stain-resistant compared to Invisalign.

About Reveal Clear Aligners in Tuscaloosa, AL

Clear braces are a fantastic way to unlock your perfect smile and enhance oral health.

You consult with your dentist to establish or ensure candidacy for Reveal aligners. We answer your questions and let you know what will happen during and following your treatment. You’ll also learn how long you’ll need to wear your clear aligners. Treatment can last up to two years, with an average of 18 months.

If Reveal addresses your orthodontic concerns, we will take impressions of your teeth and forward the results to the affiliated lab. The lab will create your aligners and send them to our dental office.

From there, you start wearing your aligners according to your dentist’s instructions. Ideally, it would be best if you kept them in most of the time, at least 22 hours daily. However, you can take them out briefly to eat, brush, and floss.

As the weeks pass, you’ll notice your teeth lining up and moving into position.

At the end of treatment, we provide a retainer to maintain your results—a way to prevent orthodontic relapse.

What Issues Can Reveal Correct?

  • Gaps or unusual spacing between teeth
