Clear Aligners

At Camelot Dental Group, we believe a straighter smile does far more than enhance your appearance. It supports long-term oral health, comfort, and confidence. Here in Columbus, OH, Dr. Paul King, Dr. Chris King, and Dr. Maria Zulliger provide modern clear aligner treatment to help patients improve the alignment of their teeth and bite. If you are dealing with crooked teeth, crowding, spacing, or bite concerns, we create a thoughtful plan designed around your goals using clear aligners.

At our dental office, we take time to evaluate your bite, your dental history, and your overall oral health so we can recommend treatment that fits comfortably into your lifestyle. Whether your goal is a more confident smile or better function and health, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

How Do Clear Aligners Work?

Clear aligners gently guide teeth into healthier positions using a series of custom-made, removable trays. Each set is designed to create steady, controlled tooth movement over time. At Camelot Dental Group, we evaluate tooth alignment, bite function, and jaw comfort, including the temporomandibular joint, before recommending a clear aligner plan that supports your long-term oral health.

Many patients complete clear aligner treatment in 12 to 24 months, depending on the complexity of their case and how their teeth respond. Some treatments correct minor alignment concerns, while others address more involved spacing or bite issues. Throughout your treatment, our goal is to keep you comfortable, informed, and confident in your progress.

Why You May Benefit From Clear Aligners

Several dental concerns can affect comfort, function, and the appearance of your smile. Misaligned teeth and bite issues can interfere with chewing, speech, and oral hygiene. In some cases, gently moving teeth into better positions can also help reduce the risk of complications like tooth decay or gum disease, since crowded or overlapping teeth can be harder to clean.

Some signs you may benefit from clear aligners include:

Difficulty cleaning between teeth due to crowding
Teeth that overlap, twist, or sit out of line
Spacing between teeth or shifting over time
Bite concerns that affect comfort or function
Tension in the jaw or uneven tooth wear
Feeling self-conscious about your smile

During your exam, our dental team will take a closer look and let you know whether clear aligners are a good fit for your needs and goals.

Clear Aligner Treatment Options

Camelot Dental Group offers clear aligner therapy for teens and adults who want a discreet, comfortable way to straighten teeth without braces. Clear aligners use a series of removable trays to guide each stage of movement. They are smooth, low-profile, and easy to remove for meals, brushing, and flossing.

Many patients love that clear aligners blend seamlessly into everyday life. Since the trays are removable, it is easier to maintain oral hygiene during treatment. This is a big advantage for protecting against tooth decay and gum disease.

Retainers and Post-Treatment Care

Once treatment is complete, maintaining your results is the next step. Teeth can shift throughout life, so retainers are essential for keeping your new alignment stable. We offer clear retainer options based on your treatment plan and routine.

Post-treatment care includes:

Wearing your retainer as directed
Maintaining consistent oral hygiene
Keeping up with routine dental visits
Monitoring any changes in bite or tooth position

We will provide clear instructions so you can protect the investment you have made in your smile.

Benefits of Straightening Teeth With Clear Aligners

Straightening teeth supports more than appearance. It can improve oral health, comfort, and long-term function. When teeth are properly aligned, they are often easier to clean, which may reduce the risk of plaque buildup, gum irritation, and uneven wear. Improved alignment can also support a more balanced bite and reduce strain on the jaw.

Benefits may include:

Easier brushing and flossing
Reduced risk of future dental issues
Improved comfort while chewing and speaking
Better long-term stability of tooth position
Increased confidence in your smile
Support for lifelong oral health

How Clear Aligners Support Lifelong Oral Health

Improving alignment is not just about transforming your smile. It can also help protect your oral health over time. When teeth are in healthier positions, it is easier to keep them clean and reach tight spaces where plaque can build up. Better alignment may also help reduce stress on jaw muscles and joints, lowering the risk of discomfort and uneven tooth wear.

With a personalized, clear aligner plan, you are creating a straighter smile while investing in better oral health for years to come.
