What types of aligners do you offer?
At Sherman & Balhoff Orthodontics, we offer advanced clear aligner options to fit a variety of needs and lifestyles. Our aligner treatments include Invisalign and Spark Aligners, both designed to straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, removable trays.
Invisalign is a widely trusted system known for its precision and versatility, making it a great option for teens and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns. Spark Aligners are a newer alternative, made from advanced, stain-resistant material for enhanced clarity and comfort.
During your consultation, our team will evaluate your smile and recommend the aligner system that best fits your goals, ensuring efficient treatment and long-lasting results.
Who Can Use Clear Aligners?
Just about everyone! Clear aligners have continued to improve with technology and processes so that today, nearly anyone can choose aligners instead of conventional braces. Our office will assess your specific case at your initial consultation and determine whether you are a prime candidate for aligners.
How Easy Is Treatment With Aligners?
The process of treatment is very simple. With iTero digital scanning, there are no gooey impressions to bite down on. You simply relax while we do an easy 3D scan. Since the images are immediate, you spend less time waiting for results and more time getting your smile perfected!
It Costs More Than Braces, Doesn’t It?
No! In most cases, the cost of treatment with aligners is comparable to that of traditional metal braces. At your initial consultation, we take time to review your entire treatment plan, including a breakdown of the costs associated with treatment.

If I’m A Parent, How Do I Know If My Child Wears Their Aligners Like They’re Supposed To?
It’s hard to hide if your child is not wearing their aligners as they should. With every visit, we can accurately track usage, using a system of compliance indicators that are embedded directly in the aligners. They can’t cheat technology!
