OrthoFX clear aligners offer a discreet way to straighten teeth using a planned series of removable trays. Oak Hill Family Dentistry provides clear aligner evaluations for teens and adults at our Newnan office. Treatment recommendations are based on your bite, tooth position, oral health, and goals.
How Clear Aligner Therapy Works
Clear aligner treatment begins with an examination and digital records. We use an intraoral scanner to create a three-dimensional model of your teeth and plan a sequence of movements. Each set of aligners applies controlled pressure to guide selected teeth toward their planned positions. You will change aligners according to the schedule provided by Dr. Mike Jin and return for progress checks. Treatment time varies according to the complexity of movement and how consistently the aligners are worn.

Aligners still require commitment. They generally must be worn for most of the day, removed only as directed, and cleaned regularly. Teeth and gums must also remain healthy throughout treatment.
Who May Be a Candidate for Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners may help with certain cases of crowding, spacing, rotation, and bite misalignment. They are not the best choice for every orthodontic problem. An examination allows us to determine whether OrthoFX, traditional braces, another form of orthodontic treatment, or referral to an orthodontic specialist is most appropriate. Before starting treatment, active tooth decay and gum disease should be addressed. Patients also need to be able to wear and care for their aligners consistently.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your plan may include small tooth-colored attachments that help the aligners grip and move specific teeth. Some patients may also need limited reshaping between teeth to create space. We will explain any recommended steps before treatment. Regular checkups let us monitor tooth movement, aligner fit, and oral health. Contact us if an aligner is lost, damaged, or no longer fits as expected rather than moving ahead in the series without guidance.
Retainers After Clear Aligners
Teeth naturally tend to shift after orthodontic movement. Retainers are therefore an important part of maintaining the result. We will explain when and how to wear your retainers after active treatment is complete.
Clear Aligner Costs and Payment Options
The cost of clear aligner treatment depends on case complexity and anticipated treatment length. After your evaluation, we will provide an individualized estimate and review available payment options. Visit our insurance and financing page for additional information.
