If you’ve been longing for a straighter smile without metal braces, clear aligners offer a discreet, comfortable way to get there. These custom-made aligners are removable, nearly invisible, and a great fit for teens and adults who want to improve their smile without traditional braces. At Dental Center of Jacksonville, we offer several leading aligner systems, so your treatment can be matched to your goals and the complexity of your case.
Clear aligner treatment at our practice is led by professionals with the training to do it well. Dr. Shreya Iyengar, our orthodontist, provides Invisalign and SureSmile treatment. She holds a Master of Dental Surgery in Orthodontics and completed an Aligner Intensive Fellowship, giving her focused expertise in straightening teeth with clear aligners. Dr. Antal Barbela and Dr. Dipti Kanchan — who completed their dental education at Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine and the University of Saskatchewan, respectively — offer 3M Clarity Aligners for many common alignment concerns. Matching the right provider and system to your smile is how we help you achieve dependable, comfortable results.
The benefits of clear aligners include:
- Nearly invisible appearance while you wear them
- Removable for eating, brushing, and flossing
- No food restrictions during treatment
- A smooth, comfortable fit with no metal brackets or wires
- Simpler oral hygiene than with traditional braces

Explore Your Clear Aligner Options in Jacksonville
Not every aligner system is right for every smile, which is why we offer more than one. During your consultation, your provider will examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and recommend the option best suited to you:
- Invisalign – One of the most recognized clear aligner systems, Invisalign can address a broad range of alignment and bite concerns. At our practice, Invisalign treatment is provided by our orthodontist, Dr. Iyengar.
- SureSmile – This custom aligner system pairs detailed digital planning with precise, gradual tooth movement. Dr. Iyengar also provides SureSmile for patients seeking a discreet path to a straighter smile.
- 3M Clarity Aligners – Offered by Dr. Barbela and Dr. Kanchan, these comfortable, low-profile aligners are a dependable choice for many everyday alignment concerns.
The process is straightforward. Your treatment begins with a digital scan that maps out a precise, customized plan. You’ll wear each set of custom-fitted aligners as directed — removing them only to eat and clean your teeth — and switch to a new set on the schedule your provider recommends. Regular checkups keep your progress on track, and because treatment length varies by system and the complexity of your case, your provider will give you a personalized timeline at your consultation.
Once your teeth are beautifully aligned, many patients choose to enhance their results further with cosmetic treatments such as teeth whitening, dental veneers, or tooth bonding.
“Clear aligners give patients a straighter smile without changing how they live day to day. What I appreciate most is being able to match each patient with the system that truly fits their case — there’s no one-size-fits-all in orthodontics.” — Dr. Iyengar

Common Questions About Clear Aligners
-
Yes – they’re made of a smooth, clear material that’s virtually invisible on your teeth, so you can straighten your smile without drawing attention or fielding questions during treatment.
-
All three straighten teeth with clear, removable aligners, but they differ in technology and the range of cases they address. Our orthodontist, Dr. Iyengar, provides Invisalign and SureSmile, while Dr. Barbela and Dr. Kanchan offer 3M Clarity. We’ll recommend the best fit at your consultation.
-
It depends on the system and how much your teeth need to move. Some cases finish in a matter of months, while more comprehensive cases take longer. Your provider will give you a personalized estimate.

Most aligners work best when worn around 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink anything other than water, and clean your teeth. Consistent wear is what keeps you on schedule.
-
It depends on your needs. Comprehensive systems like Invisalign and SureSmile can address many bite concerns, not just crooked teeth. A consultation is the best way to learn what’s possible for your smile.
