Orthodontic Treatment Without the Metal

Clear aligners use a series of custom-fit, removable plastic trays to move teeth gradually into position. You wear each set of trays for one to two weeks, then move to the next. The trays come out for eating, drinking, and brushing, and they are nearly invisible on your teeth. If you want to straighten your teeth without fixed brackets and wires, clear aligners are a strong option for a wide range of cases.
At AC Orthodontics, clear aligner treatment starts with a 3D scan at either the Westlake or Norwalk office. No impressions. Dr. Chhibber maps out your full treatment plan from that scan, and you can see a projected result before any trays are made. He plans and oversees every aligner case himself, at both locations.

Clear Aligners for Teens and Adults

Clear aligners are a popular choice for teens who want treatment without the visual impact of metal brackets. The most important factor is consistency: aligners need to be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day to stay on track. For teens who are committed to wearing them, the results are excellent. Dr. Chhibber evaluates each teen case individually to determine whether aligners or braces will produce the best outcome for that specific bite and patient.

Are Clear Aligners Right for Your Case?

Clear aligners work well for a wide range of cases, including mild to moderate crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, and crossbite. The key factors are the complexity of the bite correction needed and the patient's ability to wear the trays consistently.
For more complex bite corrections, severe crowding, or significant rotations, braces often produce a more reliable result. Dr. Chhibber gives every patient an honest assessment at their free consultation. He recommends clear aligners when they are the right tool for the case and braces when they are not.

How Much Do Clear Aligners Cost in Norwalk and Westlake?

Clear aligner treatment at AC Orthodontics runs $3,500 to $7,000, and the number depends on how much movement your case requires. Dr. Chhibber will scan your teeth at your free consultation and quote you a firm figure rather than a range. Nobody will ask you to decide anything that day.
We accept most major dental insurance and bill your plan directly. Because orthodontic benefits differ from one policy to the next, our team will verify your coverage and put the numbers in writing before you commit to anything. Payment plans are available in both Westlake and Norwalk, and getting started does not require money down.

Board-Certified Clear Aligner Treatment at Two Ohio Locations

Patients come to our Westlake office on Detroit Road from Rocky River, Avon, Avon Lake, and Bay Village, and to our Norwalk office on Benedict Avenue from Sandusky, Huron, Bellevue, Monroeville, Willard, Wakeman, New London, and Berlin Heights. Both offices are open Monday through Friday, and consultations are free at either location.
Dr. Chhibber completed two full orthodontic residencies and spent three years on faculty at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine before building his practice in northern Ohio. His training puts him in a rare category of orthodontists in this region. If you are considering clear aligners, the best first step is a free consultation with Dr. Chhibber at whichever office is most convenient.
