Clear Braces in Idaho Falls, ID
Clear braces, more properly called clear aligners, are revolutionizing how we straighten teeth. Gone are the days of having to tolerate a mouthful of sharp metal brackets and wires. Today, we can straighten teeth using clear plastic aligners that are smooth, comfortable, and invisible. They can even be removed for eating and drinking, so you do not have to limit the foods you enjoy.
What are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are lightweight plastic trays that fit snugly over the teeth, applying gentle pressure to guide them into their new position. With the Reveal® clear aligner system, patients wear a series of clear aligners, switching to a new set every few weeks to continue progressing toward the desired final results.
Clear aligners do the work of traditional braces while being discreet, comfortable, and convenient. Dr. Kidman evaluates each patient and designs the clear aligners, considering the effect of correction on the teeth, teeth roots, facial bones, gum tissue, and more. He carefully monitors patient progress and takes steps to ensure your results are beautiful, functional, and long-lasting.
What Can Reveal® Clear Aligners Treat?
Clear aligners are incredibly versatile. They can effectively treat most dental issues that conventional braces treat, including mild to moderate crooked teeth, overbite, underbite, crowding, crossbite, overjet, open bite, and spacing issues.

What are the Benefits of Clear Aligners?

- You can remove your aligners to eat, drink, and brush your teeth.
- You can remove your aligners for special occasions.
- There are no restrictions on what you eat, unlike metal braces.
- There are fewer office visits required. You switch from one aligner to the next to adjust the pressure and correction on the teeth.
- Clear aligners often correct dental issues faster than traditional braces.
- You do not have to cope with broken brackets or wires.
- Because your clear aligners are designed and fabricated with digital technology, the customized results are accurate and predictable.
Am I a Candidate for Clear Braces?
If you are interested in correcting a mild to moderate problem with crowded or misaligned teeth and are willing to wear the aligners 20-22 hours a day, you may be a candidate for clear braces. You should be in good health without any current dental problems. If you have periodontal disease or active infections, these must be treated first. Clear braces may not be suitable for individuals with severe orthodontic issues.
The only way to know for sure whether Reveal® clear aligners are appropriate for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Kidman. He will perform an oral exam, discuss your options, and advise you on the best way to straighten your teeth.
Why Creekside Dental Prefers Reveal® Clear Aligners Over Invisalign® or ClearCorrect®
Reveal clear aligners offer distinct advantages over Invisalign and ClearCorrect, which is why Dr. Kidman prefers them for effective, discreet orthodontic treatment. Unlike Invisalign and ClearCorrect, Reveal aligners are designed to minimize visibility even more. They are crafted from a clear, stain-resistant material that resists clouding, ensuring they remain virtually invisible throughout treatment. This durability makes Reveal® aligners especially convenient for those concerned about maintaining a clean look.
In terms of comfort, Reveal aligners can be made without attachments or visible brackets, making them smoother on the gums and reducing irritation, which is a common issue with other aligners. This design also simplifies the alignment process, as attachments can be inconvenient and add complexity to daily routines like eating and brushing.
Reveal aligners are typically more affordable than Invisalign, offering comparable results without a premium price. Dr. Kidman eliminates the middlemen by providing Reveal® aligners directly through our office. He oversees your progress to ensure proper correction at every step of your treatment.
Dr. Kidman believes Reveal® clear aligners are a superior alternative to Invisalign and ClearCorrect for patients who value aesthetics, affordability, and convenience.
