Straightening your teeth as an adult feels different than it did as a teenager. You have a career, a schedule, and a life — not leaving room for monthly wire tightening appointments, dietary restrictions, and hardware you can see every time you smile. Clear aligner therapy was designed for exactly this reality. At Sopris Smiles, we take it further: every aligner case is reviewed by a board-certified orthodontist through our BeSmyle collaboration, adding specialist oversight that most general dental offices simply don’t offer.
Our Englewood office is just minutes from Sheridan, and patients across the area choose us for aligner care because the clinical foundation behind our treatment is genuinely different. Learn more about the full scope of our dental care for Sheridan patients before diving into the specifics of clear aligner therapy.
Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, removable trays worn over the teeth to gradually shift them into proper alignment. Each set moves your teeth a small amount, and patients advance to a new tray every one to two weeks. Because the trays are removable, eating, brushing, and flossing stay completely normal throughout treatment.
Research published in PMC confirms that clear aligner therapy has growing acceptance in orthodontics with strong long-term stability outcomes when cases are well-selected and properly planned — exactly what our BeSmyle orthodontist review is designed to ensure.
Teeth that overlap or twist due to insufficient arch space — one of the most common cases aligners address effectively.
Gaps between teeth that affect appearance and can trap food, increasing gum disease risk over time.
Overbite, underbite, and crossbite — mild to moderate cases are frequently addressed successfully with clear aligner therapy.
Clear aligner treatment at Sopris Smiles is not a one-size-fits-all experience. We use CBCT 3D imaging and CEREC digital scanning to capture a precise, three-dimensional picture of your teeth, roots, and jaw before planning any movement. That level of detail protects your result and your bite.
Every treatment plan is reviewed by Dr. Matt Stout, a board-certified orthodontist, through our BeSmyle program before a single tray is fabricated. This specialist oversight means the decisions shaping your movement are informed by orthodontic knowledge, not just general dental experience — a meaningful difference in outcome predictability.

We combine CBCT 3D imaging with orthodontic oversight through our BeSmyle program. A board-certified orthodontist — Dr. Matt Stout — reviews every treatment plan before any trays are made. That specialist review adds a level of clinical precision that most general dental offices don’t offer, protecting both your result and your bite long-term.
Most adult cases at Sopris Smiles take between 12 and 18 months of active aligner wear. Simpler cases can be shorter. Your consultation gives you the most accurate estimate based on your specific tooth positions and movement goals.
The target is 20 to 22 hours per day. You remove them to eat, drink anything other than water, brush, and floss. Consistently wearing them for fewer hours slows treatment and can change your projected outcome.
Yes, and retention is permanent. Teeth naturally tend to drift back toward their original positions without retainers holding them in place. We fit custom retainers at the end of active treatment and recommend nightly wear long-term.
Yes. Many patients complete aligner treatment first, then pursue whitening, bonding, or veneers. Getting alignment right first improves cosmetic outcomes because the foundation is better. Dr. Golnaz can discuss sequencing at your consultation. See our Sheridan cosmetic dentistry page for more.
