A straight smile is not only beautiful but also beneficial for your oral health. If you want to correct misaligned teeth without the discomfort of traditional braces, OrthoFX® AirFlex™ clear aligners may be the perfect solution. Dr. Nathan Gray and Dr. Mechay R. Gray offer this advanced orthodontic treatment to help patients achieve a more confident and properly aligned smile.
A Comfortable and Discreet Solution
Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners provide a nearly invisible way to straighten teeth. These custom-made aligners gradually shift teeth into their ideal position without the need for metal brackets or wires. Many patients choose clear aligners because they offers:
- A clear, discreet design that is barely noticeable
- Removable aligners for easy eating and oral hygiene
- A more comfortable fit with no sharp wires or brackets
- Fewer dental visits compared to traditional braces
- Predictable and efficient results with advanced digital planning
Straightening Your Smile With Precision
Our dentists and team use advanced imaging technology to create a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique smile. Clear aligners are designed to fit snugly over your teeth, applying gentle and controlled pressure to shift them into the correct position. Every few weeks, you will switch to a new set of aligners, gradually progressing through your treatment.
We have also chosen to use the advanced OrthoFX AirFlex clear aligners because they are the only FDA-approved clear aligner system that straightens teeth with nine to 12 hours of continuous daily wear time. Unlike other aligner systems, which require 20-22 hours of wear time per day, this state-of-the-art orthodontic solution uses specialized materials and designs to minimize the time you need to wear your aligners, including an air cushion built into the aligner. AirFlex is designed to move teeth more naturally and less aggressively, giving you the gentlest aligner treatment currently on the market. With OrthoFX AirFlex, you can enjoy greater comfort, greater precision and greater efficiency while achieving the same beautiful result!
Because aligners are removable, patients can continue enjoying their favorite foods and maintain their normal oral hygiene routine. Regular check-ins with our team will help ensure that your treatment stays on track.
Every smile is unique, which is why we take the time to create a customized treatment plan for each patient. Our dentists and team will assess your orthodontic needs and discuss your smile goals to determine if clear aligners are right for you. Whether you have mild crowding, gaps or bite alignment issues, we are here to help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile. Our aligners also include a complimentary whitening treatment with your plan, along with a three-year warranty as part of your comprehensive orthodontic treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I switch to clear aligners if I have already started another orthodontic treatment?
In many cases, patients can transition to clear aligners from a different orthodontic treatment. We will assess your progress and determine if switching is the best option for your smile goals.
How do clear aligners fit into an active lifestyle?
Clear aligners offer flexibility, making them ideal for those with busy schedules or active lifestyles. Whether you travel frequently, participate in sports or have a demanding job, they allow for convenient adjustments without interrupting daily routines.
Are there any lifestyle adjustments I should consider before starting treatment?
While clear aligners are designed for comfort and convenience, certain habits may need minor adjustments. Patients may need to plan meals differently, be mindful of aligner storage and commit to wearing them consistently for optimal results.
