Clear aligners are clear, removable trays that gradually move your teeth into a straighter position without metal brackets or wires. At B-You! Dentistry in Suwanee, GA, Dr. Tan Bui offers clear aligner treatment for teens and adults who want a straighter smile while keeping their everyday look. This page covers how treatment works here, what to expect at each visit, and how to find out if clear aligners fit your smile.
Why Choose Clear Aligners at B-You! in Suwanee
Many people want straighter teeth but do not want brackets and wires. Clear aligners let you keep brushing, flossing and eating the way you always have, since the trays come out for meals and cleaning. At your first visit, Dr. Bui checks your teeth and gums, takes digital X-rays and intraoral camera photos, and shows you what he sees on screen before you decide on anything. He explains each option in plain language so you understand what clear aligners can and cannot do for your bite.
The American Dental Association notes that orthodontic treatment can help correct crowded, gapped or misaligned teeth, which can make brushing and flossing easier over time (MouthHealthy, ADA).
He interacts with his team very well ... He did not once get frustrated with her questions even though they appeared repetitive...

Are Clear Aligners Right for You?
Clear aligners work well for mild to moderate spacing and alignment concerns. You may be a good candidate if you notice any of the following:
Crowded or Overlapping Teeth
Teeth that have shifted closer together over time or never had enough room to come in straight.
Gaps Between Teeth
Small to moderate spaces that bother you or make food catch between teeth.
Minor Bite Shifts
Teeth that have moved slightly after old orthodontic treatment, or a bite that feels a little off.
The only way to know for sure is a visit with Dr. Bui, who will look at your teeth and bite and give you an honest answer about whether clear aligners are a good match or whether another option makes more sense for you.

Clear Aligner FAQs: Suwanee, GA
How do clear aligners move my teeth?
Each tray in your series is made slightly different from the last, so wearing them in order gently guides your teeth step by step toward the final position Dr. Bui planned with you.
Can I eat and drink normally with clear aligners?
Yes. You remove your trays before eating or drinking anything other than water, then brush before putting them back in. This is one reason many patients prefer them over fixed braces.
Does my insurance cover clear aligners?
Some dental plans cover part of orthodontic treatment, so bring your insurance card and our team can look at your benefits with you. You can spread out any remaining balance with Cherry or CareCredit. See our insurance and financing page for details.
Do clear aligners hurt?
You may feel pressure for a short time when you switch to a new tray. This is normal and is a sign the tray is doing its job. Dr. Bui will tell you what to expect for your case.
What if a tray cracks or I lose one?
Call our office right away so Dr. Bui can tell you what to do next and get you back on track. If you are dealing with a separate dental problem such as pain or swelling, visit our emergency dental care page.
Are clear aligners the same as Invisalign?
Invisalign is one brand of clear aligner. Dr. Bui will talk with you about which clear aligner option fits your smile and your goals.
