OrthoFX Clear Aligners
Straightening your teeth doesn’t have to mean a mouth full of metal for the next year or more. OrthoFX clear aligners use a series of custom, nearly invisible trays made from OrthoFX’s flexible FXTetra™ material to gradually shift your teeth into place, with digital treatment planning mapping out your entire smile transformation before you start. As part of our Specialty Services, it’s a more precise, predictable option for patients who’ve already decided clear aligners are the right path and want the specific system behind their treatment. Emerald Dental provides OrthoFX clear aligners at both our Lakewood and Littleton offices.
Curious what your smile could look like in six months?
Smile Fact
Enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, yet it cannot repair itself once it is lost.
What Are OrthoFX Clear Aligners
OrthoFX is a clear aligner treatment that uses a series of custom-made, transparent trays to gradually move your teeth toward their planned positions. Each aligner applies controlled pressure to specific teeth, with each new set building on the progress of the one before it. Because the trays are removable, you can take them out for eating, brushing, and flossing instead of navigating around fixed brackets and wires. Digital treatment planning maps the intended tooth movements before treatment begins, while your dentist monitors your progress throughout the process.
OrthoFX Treatment Options
For Crowding
OrthoFX aligners apply gentle, controlled pressure that gradually shifts crowded teeth into proper alignment, creating a straighter, more even smile.
For Spacing
Gaps and uneven spacing between teeth are closed gradually and predictably, improving both the look and function of your bite.
For Bite Correction
Overbites, underbites, and crossbites can lead to jaw discomfort and uneven wear, and OrthoFX’s digital planning maps each aligner set to correct bite issues over time.
For Minor to Moderate Movement
For rotated or slightly misaligned individual teeth, OrthoFX offers a precise, gradual solution without the need for traditional braces.
How OrthoFX Clear Aligners Work
Consultation and Digital Scans.
You'll go over your goals and get a full exam with digital scans of your teeth and bite, confirming OrthoFX is the right fit for what you want to correct.
Custom Treatment Plan.
Your aligner series is mapped out digitally, step by step, so you can see roughly how your smile will progress before treatment even begins.
Wearing and Progress Checks.
You'll move through your aligner series on schedule, with regular check-ins to track progress and adjust the plan if needed.
Retention.
Once your teeth reach their final position, a custom retainer keeps them there, since teeth can drift back without one.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is OrthoFX different from other clear aligners?
OrthoFX uses a proprietary flexible material and digital treatment planning that maps your entire aligner series before you start, giving your dentist a precise, predictable path to your results. The day-to-day experience, wearing removable, nearly invisible trays, is similar to other clear aligner systems.
How long does OrthoFX treatment take?
Treatment time varies by case and is generally comparable to traditional braces, often several months to a year or more depending on how much correction is needed. Your digital treatment plan gives you a personalized timeline once your specific case is mapped out.
Is OrthoFX painful?
Not painful, though it’s normal to feel some pressure for a day or two after switching to a new tray as your teeth adjust. That sensation fades quickly and is a sign the aligner is working as planned.
Do I need to wear my aligners all day?
Yes, they’re designed to be worn most of the day and removed only for eating, brushing, and flossing. Staying consistent is what keeps your digital treatment plan on schedule.
Can adults get OrthoFX aligners?
Yes, OrthoFX works well for both teens and adults, including adults addressing mild relapse after previous orthodontic treatment. Your dentist will confirm it’s the right fit for your specific case during your consultation.
