Aurora’s rapidly growing population—now the third-largest city in Colorado—means more residents are seeking discreet orthodontic solutions that fit their professional and active lifestyles. If you live near the Anschutz Medical Campus, Southlands, or Fitzsimons district, you understand the importance of a confident smile in this competitive, family-oriented community. Traditional metal braces don’t align with the modern, health-conscious lifestyle Aurora residents expect. That’s where ClearCorrect clear aligners come in.
As part of our comprehensive cosmetic dental services in Aurora, Aspenwood Dental Associates and Colorado Dental Implant Center has been serving families for five decades. Our clear aligner treatments represent the cutting edge of orthodontic care, combining the expertise of Dr. Daniel Zeppelin, Dr. Lisa Augustine, Dr. Ronald Yaros, and Dr. Aaron Sun with technology designed for busy Aurora lifestyles.
Ready for a dental revolution that’s as modern as it is effective? Our clear aligners are perfect for straightening teeth without traditional metal braces. Beyond their aesthetic appeal—their name gives it away, they’re nearly invisible—aligners are comfortable, removable, and incredibly efficient at giving you the smile you’ve always wanted.
Your Clear Aligner Journey in Aurora
Step 1: Comprehensive Digital Assessment
Your appointment begins with advanced 3D imaging at our Aurora office. We capture precise tooth positioning and create a digital treatment roadmap. Our hygienists perform a thorough cleaning to establish a healthy foundation, checking for gum inflammation or decay that could impact aligner effectiveness.
Step 2: Custom ClearCorrect Fabrication
Using your digital scans, we order custom-fabricated aligner trays designed specifically for your bite. You’ll receive multiple sets at once (typically 3–4 trays), each programmed to shift your teeth incrementally. We schedule check-ins every 6–8 weeks at our Aurora location to monitor progress.
Step 3: Refinement & Retention
Once treatment concludes (typically 6–18 months depending on complexity), we fabricate custom retainers to maintain your new smile. We pre-schedule retention visits to ensure long-term success and address any shifting concerns immediately—critical for Aurora patients with active lifestyles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will wearing aligners affect my speech?
Most Aurora patients experience a minor adjustment period of 2–3 days. Any slight lisp typically resolves as your tongue adapts. Because aligners are removable, you can take them out for important presentations or events (though we recommend 22 hours of daily wear for optimal results).
How long will I need to wear aligners to complete my treatment?
Treatment length varies based on complexity. Minor crowding may resolve in 6–9 months, while moderate overbites or spacing issues typically require 12–18 months. During your Aurora consultation, we’ll provide a personalized timeline using ClearCorrect’s treatment simulation software.
Are there any downsides to clear aligners compared to traditional braces?
Clear aligners require discipline—you must wear them 20–22 hours daily and remove them for eating. They’re not ideal for severe orthodontic cases requiring significant jaw repositioning. However, for mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite issues, they offer unmatched convenience and aesthetics for Aurora professionals and teens alike.
