You can get clear aligners in Phoenix at Blue Orthodontics, on 7th Street near Camelback Road. Our practice ranks in the top 1% of Invisalign providers in the world, and Dr. Dan Blue plans every aligner case himself. Virtually anyone who wants to straighten their teeth with aligners can have them. Your first step is a complimentary consultation, in person or virtual.

Clear aligners are a series of custom, removable plastic trays that gradually move your teeth into place. You wear each set for a scheduled period, then switch to the next one.

Because the trays are clear and thin, most people won’t notice you’re wearing them. You take them out to eat, drink anything besides water, brush and floss. That flexibility is a big reason aligners work so well for busy teens and adults.

Dr. Dan Blue, DDS, MS, provides clear aligner treatment at our Phoenix office. He trained in both orthodontics and prosthodontics, a combination he shares with only one other orthodontist in the Valley.

His dental degree, master’s degree and prosthodontic certificate come from Baylor College of Dentistry, and his orthodontic certificate comes from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He’s a member of the American Association of Orthodontists.

Experience with aligners matters. Our top 1% Invisalign standing reflects how often we use this treatment and how efficiently we use it. Get to know Dr. Blue on our practice page.

Yes, clear aligners can treat many complex cases today, not only mild crowding or small gaps. Aligners started as a tool for minor fixes, but they’ve become an essential tool for some of the most involved treatment plans we see.

That shift is why we tell Phoenix patients that virtually anyone who wants aligners can have them. Crowding, spacing, overbites and other bite issues often respond well when an experienced orthodontist plans the tooth movement carefully.

Dr. Blue’s prosthodontic background adds another layer. He plans with your finished smile in mind, looking at tooth length, gum display, smile width and lip support. If your case truly calls for braces, we’ll tell you why and show you your options on our braces in Phoenix page.

Clear aligner treatment follows a simple rhythm: plan, wear, check in and finish. Here’s how it unfolds.

1. Complimentary consultation. We talk about your goals and check whether aligners fit your case.
2. Digital planning. Dr. Blue maps each stage of tooth movement for your custom trays.
3. Your first aligners. We fit your first trays and show you how to wear and care for them.
4. Check-in visits. You’ll see us about every two months for a visit of 20 to 30 minutes.
5. Retainers. Once your teeth reach their new spots, retainers help keep them there.

Most of our patients who follow their instructions finish comprehensive treatment in 12 months or less. Wearing your aligners as directed is the biggest factor you control.

Your visits stay short, too. Most patients spend 20 to 30 minutes with us about every two months, which is easy to fit around a workday downtown or a school schedule.

Keep your aligners out of hot cars and away from hot water, because heat can warp the plastic. In a Phoenix summer, that means your case goes in your bag, not on the dashboard.

A few habits help your trays stay clear and fit well:

• Drink water while wearing them. Plain water is the only drink to sip with trays in.
• Stay hydrated. Aligners and a dry mouth don’t mix, so keep a water bottle handy on hot days.
• Rinse with cool water. Cool or lukewarm water cleans trays without bending them.
• Use your case. A napkin at lunch is the fastest way to lose a tray.

Yes, clear aligners suit busy professionals because they’re nearly invisible and come out for meals, meetings and photos. If you work in Midtown, Uptown or Central Phoenix, aligners let treatment fit around your workday instead of the other way around.

Our Phoenix office opens at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, so you can check in before work.

Teens do well with aligners, too. We see patients from age 8 to 108, and we’ll help you decide whether aligners or braces fit your teen’s habits best.

We participate with most insurance plans and work with your insurance to make treatment affordable. We’ll check your benefits and explain what your plan covers before you begin.

Your complimentary consultation includes a clear, written cost. Current patients can pay through the portal on our patient resources page.
