Clear Aligners in Merritt Island & Titusville, FL

Straighten Your Smile with Clear Aligners

Clear aligners, like Invisalign® or Clarity™ offer a modern, discreet alternative to traditional braces. Using a series of custom-made removable aligners, clear aligner treatment gradually moves teeth into their ideal positions while allowing patients to maintain their normal lifestyle.

At Barlow & Benfield Orthodontics, we provide clear aligner treatment for adults throughout Merritt Island, Titusville, and Brevard County. Dr. Jeffrey Barlow and Dr. Andrew Benfield use advanced digital technology to create personalized treatment plans designed to deliver beautiful, healthy smiles

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are transparent, removable trays that fit comfortably over your teeth.

Each aligner is designed to make small, controlled tooth movements. As you progress through a series of aligners, your teeth gradually move into proper alignment.

Because aligners are removable, patients can continue enjoying their favorite foods and maintain normal brushing and flossing habits throughout treatment.

Benefits of Clear Aligners

Patients often choose clear aligners because they offer:

Nearly invisible appearance
Removable convenience
No brackets or wires
Easier brushing and flossing
Fewer dietary restrictions
Comfortable treatment experience
Predictable tooth movement using digital treatment planning

Who Is a Candidate for Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners can effectively treat many orthodontic concerns, including:

Crowded teeth
Spacing issues
Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
General tooth alignment concerns

During your consultation, Dr. Barlow or Dr. Benfield will determine whether clear aligners are the best option for your specific needs.

Clear Aligners vs. Braces

Both braces and clear aligners can produce outstanding results.

Clear aligners offer greater flexibility and aesthetics, while braces may provide advantages for certain complex tooth movements and bite corrections.

Our team will help you understand the benefits of each option and recommend the treatment best suited for your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clear Aligners

How many hours per day do I need to wear aligners?

Most patients should wear their aligners approximately 20–22 hours per day for optimal results.

Can I eat while wearing aligners?

No. Aligners should be removed while eating and drinking anything other than water.

Are clear aligners painful?

Most patients experience mild pressure for a few days when switching to a new aligner. This is a normal sign that treatment is working.

How long does clear aligner treatment take?

Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of each case. During your consultation, we will provide a personalized estimate based on your treatment needs.

Effective: Invisalign® clear aligners can treat a wide range of teeth-straightening conditions, including crossbites, crowding, open bites, gapped teeth, overbites, and underbites.
Virtually invisible: Most people won’t even know you’re going through treatment, because Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible!
Comfortable: Invisalign® clear aligner trays are not only smooth and comfortable to wear, but they’re also removable. That means you can continue doing all the things you normally would, from brushing and flossing to eating whatever you like.
Convenient: Invisalign® treatment is ideal for your busy schedule, since you only need to visit our office every six weeks.

The Invisalign® Treatment Process

Your First Consultation

At your initial consultation, we will discuss your orthodontic needs and evaluate whether Invisalign treatment is right for you.

Your Custom Treatment Plan

We will use a scanner such as the iTero® digital scanning system to create fast, precise 3D digital images of your teeth. Then we will map out a precise treatment plan, including the exact movements of your teeth and how long your treatment will be. You’ll even get to see how your teeth will move and preview your new smile.

Your Invisalign® Clear Aligners

Your custom-made aligners will be made of Invisalign’s proprietary SmartTrack® material. They’re virtually invisible, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them during your teeth straightening.

Wear your Invisalign® clear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day for the best results, and take them out only to eat, brush, and floss.

Your Progress

As you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will gently and gradually shift into place. We may recommend that you begin wearing a new set of aligners every week and schedule checkups every six weeks or so.

Taking Care of Your New Smile

When your treatment is complete, ask us about a Vivera® retainer. Vivera retainers are custom-made using the same state-of-the-art technology as Invisalign clear aligners.
