Clear Aligners for Adults in Marietta, GA

Written by Dr. Shaila Kabani, DDS

Straightening your teeth as an adult might feel like something you missed your chance to do. Between work, family, and a packed schedule, it can be easy to put your smile on the back burner. But misaligned teeth are more than just a cosmetic concern. Over time, crowding, gaps, and bite issues make it harder to clean your teeth properly, place unnecessary stress on your jaw, and affect your overall oral health.

At Kabani Dental, we offer SureSmile clear aligners for adults right here in Marietta. Dr. Shaila Kabani, DDS, has been practicing dentistry since 2000 and has invested over 300 hours in advanced clinical education across orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, and restorative care. Whether you’re looking to correct a long-standing alignment issue or simply want to feel more confident in your smile, we provide a personalized, technology-driven approach to treatment. As part of our clear aligner services in Marietta, this page focuses specifically on adult patients and what makes SureSmile a smart choice for this stage of life.

Why More Adults Are Choosing Clear Aligners

Adults opting in to orthodontic treatment have increased over recent years, and it’s not hard to understand why. According to the American Association of Orthodontists, 1 in 3 orthodontic patients today are adults. Healthy teeth can be moved at any age, and modern clear aligner technology has made treatment more comfortable and more discreet than ever before.

Adults are drawn to clear aligners for several practical reasons. The trays are removable, which means you can eat without restrictions and maintain your normal brushing and flossing routine throughout treatment. They’re also nearly invisible, making them a strong fit for professionals, parents, and anyone who’d prefer their treatment to stay low-key. For many patients, the aesthetic and lifestyle benefits of clear aligners are just as important as the clinical outcomes.

What SureSmile Can Address

SureSmile is a clinically advanced aligner system that uses precision digital planning to map out your tooth movements from the very first tray. Unlike some over-the-counter aligner options, SureSmile treatment is managed entirely by a trained dental provider, which means every stage of your care is supervised and adjusted as needed.

For adult patients, SureSmile can address a range of alignment concerns, including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. At Kabani Dental, we begin with a comprehensive orthodontic evaluation to determine whether you’re a good candidate and to design a treatment plan tailored specifically to your teeth, your bite, and your goals. Whether you’ve had braces before and experienced some shifting, or you’ve simply never had the opportunity to address your alignment, SureSmile offers a practical path forward.

What to Expect During Treatment

Before any aligners are created, we take the time to thoroughly evaluate your oral health. This includes reviewing the health of your gums and existing restorations, examining your bite, and discussing your goals for treatment. If there are any underlying issues, such as signs of gum disease or decay, we address those first. We also offer professional dental cleanings to ensure your teeth are in the best condition before starting aligner therapy.

Once you’re cleared for treatment, we take digital impressions of your teeth, which are used to make your custom SureSmile aligners. You’ll be able to review a digital preview of your projected results before treatment even begins.

Wearing and Progressing Through Your Aligners

Each set of SureSmile trays is worn for a prescribed period before advancing to the next set in the series. For the aligners to work effectively, they need to be worn consistently throughout the day, typically 20 to 22 hours, and removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and oral hygiene. Most adult patients find that they adapt quickly to wearing the trays and that any initial awareness of the appliance fades within the first week or two.

Throughout treatment, we schedule periodic check-in appointments to monitor your progress and ensure everything is tracking as planned. Adult treatment timelines can vary depending on the complexity of your case, but many patients achieve their desired results within 12 to 24 months.

Combining Aligners with Other Smile Goals

For many adults, clear aligner treatment is just one piece of a broader smile transformation. Once your alignment is complete, your straightened teeth become an ideal foundation for additional cosmetic treatments. 

Some patients choose to pursue professional teeth whitening after finishing their aligner therapy, while others explore options like porcelain veneers to address discoloration, chips, or shape concerns. Our cosmetic dentistry services in Marietta are designed to work alongside your orthodontic results, not compete with them.

We also offer flexible financing options to help make treatment accessible, including CareCredit, Cherry, HSA/FSA, and our in-house membership plan.
