Transform Your Smile

Clear aligners gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. As you progress through treatment, your teeth are repositioned into place. With this option, you gain numerous benefits:

Your aligners are barely visible, so you can smile easily during treatment.
You can take off your aligners for meals and special occasions.
You can brush and floss normally without worrying about wires or brackets.
The smooth plastic material won't irritate your cheeks and gums.

Dr. Flores will make sure you are a candidate before recommending treatment. Often, braces can better address more severe issues. In that case, we do have a discreet ceramic option if you prefer.

Enjoy the Clear Difference

When Dr. Flores determines clear aligners are right for you, here's what you can expect:

We take detailed digital impressions of your teeth to build your personalized treatment plan.
You'll receive a series of custom-made aligners that you'll wear 20 to 22 hours daily.
You'll change to a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks.
You'll visit us about every six to eight weeks for any necessary adjustments.

You can expect to complete your treatment in six to 18 months, depending on your specific needs. We're excited to help you discover if clear aligners in Williston are right for your smile. Schedule your consultation today.

She and her team are simply wonderful. They are extremely professional and warm in their care. Besides the entire practice being very talented they are a fun bunch. Smiles and jokes are a routine part of the treatment process. And if you are lucky you might meet Dr. Shanard’s dog Enzo who might be the best part of the treatment team. Truly wonderful people who do a fantastic and thorough job. I could not state it any more plainly, this is the best dental practice in Vermont.

This is coming from a HUGE dentist-phobe. To say I get nervous going into a dentist's office, is gigantic understatement.

This is coming from a HUGE dentist-phobe. To say I get nervous going into a dentist's office, is gigantic understatement. That being said, I had the absolute wonderful fortune to find Dr. Lauren Shanard when I was facing a huge dental crisis. Terrified, I made an appointment...and in I crawled. From the first minute, the staff at Contemporary Dental Arts gently pulled me off the ceiling, and with the utmost compassion and understanding of my high anxiety, Dr Shanard helped me through my initial tough situation. EVERY person in that office, went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and felt safe. As Dr Shanard worked on me, it was clearly evident that she is a highly skilled dentist who pays attention to detail, to make sure the outcome is the very best it can be. Also clear, is that she enjoys her team, and what she does. I am not finished with my oral challenges, but I am BEYOND GRATEFUL that I have Dr. Shannard at the helm, along with all the wonderful women who have been at my side (and hers). I will go nowhere else. Fives stars just aren't enough.

I’ve been visiting the Contemporary Dental Arts and Dr. Shanard since I was a little kid. They have always been so nice and kind throughout every cleaning and filling, and there’s a super friendly and cute dog to greet you!

I've been here on multiple occasions. Marie and Dr. Shanard are really great to work with. Marie also always goes above and beyond with communication and accommodating my timeline. To say their quality of work is excellent is an understatement. Thanks!

OK so I was TERRIFIED for my first filling. I’d gone 29 years with zero oral problems and despite my bone-deep horror, I went in for a filling today with Dr. Shanard. WOW was that easy. I didn’t feel the needle or anything she was doing, and Marie held my hand the entire time. I wasn’t... OK so I was TERRIFIED for my first filling.

I was at the beginning of a month long road trip and broke part of a molar. I called over 30 dentists in 2 towns and no one could see me. Even though they were busy, this practice made room for me to come in, and within 30 minutes they fixed my tooth so that I could continue my trip. They were...

How do clear aligners work?

Clear aligners gently shift your teeth using a series of custom-made transparent trays. You'll wear each set for about two weeks before moving to the next one in your series. Each aligner makes small adjustments to tooth position according to your personalized treatment plan. The gradual pressure moves your teeth into their ideal positions over time, creating your beautifully aligned smile.

How long does clear aligner treatment take?

Most patients complete their clear aligner treatment in about six to 18 months, depending on your specific needs. Your treatment timeline depends on the complexity of your alignment issues and how consistently you wear your aligners. Dr. Flores will give you a more specific timeframe during your consultation after examining your teeth. We'll check your progress every six to eight weeks to ensure everything is moving as planned.

Can I eat and drink normally with clear aligners?

You can enjoy all your favorite foods and drinks because clear aligners are removable during meals. Simply take out your aligners before eating or drinking anything except water to prevent staining or damage. Remember to brush your teeth before putting your aligners back in to avoid trapping food particles. This flexibility makes clear aligners much more convenient than traditional braces for maintaining your normal diet.
