Clear Aligners San Diego, CA

Invisalign®

Invisalign® uses a series of clear aligners that are custom-molded to fit you. The virtually invisible aligners gradually reposition your teeth into a smile you'll be proud of. Since being certified, Dr. Jerome has treated over 5000 patients.

Invisalign Teen®

Invisalign Teen uses the same Invisalign® technology as adult aligners, moving teeth gradually with each set of clear, comfortable plastic aligners, But because teens (and their mouths) are constantly on the move, we've added a few special features. Invisalign clear aligners are twice as durable and 30% stronger than other retainers.

Invisalign First®

As a child grows, their smile grows with them. And even with baby teeth, it may be the perfect time for children ages 6 to 10 to start orthodontic treatment. This is known as phase 1 treatment. At this stage, orthodontists can see issues that may need early treatment to address a developing problem.

Straighten Your Teeth Comfortably with Clear Aligners

At Signature Orthodontics, we offer clear aligners in San Diego as a nearly invisible, comfortable, and removable alternative to traditional braces. Clear aligners use a series of custom-made trays to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position without metal brackets or wires.

Dr. John R. Jerome, D.D.S., M.S. specializes in custom orthodontic treatment plans to help patients in San Diego, 4S Ranch, Rancho Bernardo, and Rancho Santa Fe achieve straight, healthy smiles with clear aligners.

How Do Clear Aligners Work?

Clear aligners are an effective way to correct mild to moderate misalignment, including crowding, spacing issues, and bite problems. The process includes:

1. Initial Consultation

Dr. Jerome will assess your teeth and discuss whether clear aligners are the best option for your orthodontic needs.

2. Digital Scan & Treatment Plan

We use advanced digital scanning technology to create a precise 3D model of your teeth and develop a step-by-step treatment plan.

3. Custom Aligner Fabrication

Your series of custom-fit aligners will be created. Each set of aligners is worn for about 1-2 weeks, gradually moving your teeth into alignment.

4. Regular Check-Ins

You'll visit Signature Orthodontics every few weeks to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.

5. Retainers for Long-Term Results

Once treatment is complete, we provide a custom retainer to help maintain your new smile.
