At Rankin and Mingle Dentistry, everyone deserves a beautiful, confident smile. That’s why we offer clear aligners in Aurora, a cutting-edge orthodontic solution designed to straighten your teeth discreetly and comfortably. Clear aligners are a popular alternative to traditional braces, allowing patients to improve their smiles without wires, brackets, or elastics. Whether fixing a slight gap or working toward a perfectly aligned smile, clear aligners offer a modern path to achieving your goals.

Why Choose Clear Aligners?  

Clear aligners invisibly straighten your teeth over time using advanced, medical-grade plastic trays. Unlike traditional braces that rely on fixed metal components, clear aligners are smooth, unobtrusive, and conveniently removable. You can enjoy your favorite foods without the restrictions that braces often impose. Want to eat an apple without cutting it into small pieces or indulge in popcorn without worrying about unwanted surprises? With clear aligners in Aurora, these concerns are a thing of the past.  

Clear aligners apply gentle pressure to shift your teeth into their optimal positions. These aligners are custom-designed to fit your teeth and you replace them every two to four weeks as your treatment progresses. The best part? You’ll experience less discomfort compared to traditional orthodontic treatment. No wires or brackets also mean no more soreness in your cheeks, lips, or tongue.  

Clear aligners are a convenient and comfortable choice that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle. They allow you to speak, smile, and go about your day with confidence.  

The Treatment Process  

Your smile transformation begins with an initial consultation at our Aurora office, where Dr. Michael Mingle and Dr. Jennifer Rankin will evaluate your unique needs. During this visit, we will take photos, x-rays, and a 3D digital scan of your teeth to create a personalized treatment plan. This detailed preparation ensures that your aligners deliver the best results.  

Once the preliminary work is complete, you’ll receive a full set of aligners tailored to your smile’s goals. You’ll wear each set of trays for approximately two to three weeks, following instructions to wear them for at least 22 hours a day. With the aligner system used at Dr. Rankin and Dr. Mingle’s office, regular office visits are not required.  You will be notified to complete scan’s on your  phone. The doctors are then able to monitor the scans online, and only if they feel it is necessary, would you be requested to come in for an appointment.   

Most patients are excellent candidates for clear aligners. However, certain complex cases requiring substantial tooth movement may be better suited for traditional braces. Our team will guide you through every step, ensuring your treatment perfectly matches your orthodontic needs.  

Flexible Options and Additional Enhancements  

At Rankin and Mingle Dentistry, we understand that every patient’s smile is unique. That’s why we offer flexible payment options.  We will work with you to find the best financial options.  

While going through the clear aligner process, you can also take your smile to the next level with cosmetic dentistry options. Many of our patients add professional teeth whitening to brighten their smile, removing years of stains as they achieve straighter teeth. For even more dramatic results, porcelain veneers are another option to enhance or replace the need for orthodontic adjustments.  And for a full cosmetic result, adding in microneedling with Scarlet can provide an overall “facelift” by tightening, brightening and stimulating your collagen, making your new smile stand out even more! 

Combining clear aligners with additional cosmetic treatments can make your dream smile a reality in less time than you might think.
