Expert Clear Aligners with Maldonado Orthodontics
At Maldonado Orthodontics, we’re proud to offer one of the most advanced orthodontic treatments available—clear aligners. We specialize in custom treatment using top-tier aligner systems such as 3M™ Clarity™ Aligners, Angel Aligners, and ULab Aligners. These options allow us to select the best aligner system for each individual case, ensuring optimal results for every smile.
Dr. Maldonado brings expert-level orthodontic training and years of hands-on experience to each patient’s smile journey. Unlike general dentists, orthodontists receive additional years of specialized training to ensure every tooth is aligned for both function and aesthetics. With these advanced aligner systems, we deliver care that’s customized, precise, and incredibly effective—whether you’re looking for a subtle touch-up or a more comprehensive correction.
Trusted Professionals for Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are revolutionizing how people approach orthodontic care. At Maldonado Orthodontics, we make this transformation smooth and accessible for patients of all ages. From teens to adults, more people are opting for a nearly invisible way to achieve straighter teeth—and we’re here to guide them.
Our offices in Metairie and Hammond offer expert evaluation, planning, and monitoring throughout your clear aligner treatment. We focus on quality outcomes using tools that deliver results. For mild to moderate cases, we can manufacture clear aligners in-house by using our state-of-the-art 3D printer, which helps reduce costs for patients while maintaining high-quality standards.
Proven Solutions: Clear Aligners Expertise
Clear aligners are thin, clear trays designed to shift teeth gradually over time. They’re custom-made from high-quality plastic materials to fit snugly and comfortably. At Maldonado Orthodontics, every treatment starts with a digital scan and a personalized digital treatment plan developed by Dr. Maldonado.
Our services include:
Custom aligners from 3M™ Clarity™, Angel Aligners, and ULab Aligners
In-house aligners for appropriate cases using 3D printing
Digital treatment planning and mouth scans
Monitoring of progress and refinements
Combined treatment options with braces when needed
Choosing an experienced orthodontist is critical. Unlike some dental offices offering aligners without specialization, we ensure every plan is supervised by an expert for the best possible results.
How Do Our Clear Aligners Compare to Invisalign®?
A common question we hear is how our clear aligner options compare to Invisalign®. At Maldonado Orthodontics, we offer a range of advanced aligner systems, including 3M™ Clarity™ Aligners, Angel Aligners, and ULab Aligners. These systems allow us to treat a wide variety of orthodontic cases—from minor cosmetic adjustments to more complex alignment and bite issues—with a high degree of precision and customization.
While Invisalign® remains a popular option, one key difference is in who provides the treatment. Invisalign® is available through both general dentists and orthodontists, whereas our aligner systems are available exclusively through certified orthodontic specialists. This means every treatment at our practice is carefully planned and monitored by Dr. Maldonado, ensuring expert oversight and optimal outcomes.
By offering multiple trusted aligner brands, we’re able to match each patient with the system that best fits their individual needs and goals, giving you a personalized path to a straighter, healthier smile.
Can Clear Aligners Treat All Types of Tooth Alignment Issues?
Clear aligners are incredibly versatile, but they do have their limits. Whether we’re using 3M Clarity, Angel Aligners, ULab, or in-house aligners, these systems can treat common issues like crowding, spacing, and minor bite problems.
Our practice can also integrate clear aligners with other orthodontic methods, such as limited braces or strategic attachments, to address more complex alignment and bite challenges. This flexible approach allows us to customize treatment plans that go beyond what aligners alone can achieve—delivering precise, effective results even in more advanced cases where Invisalign® systems may fall short.
