Clear Aligners – Wilmington, DE

At Smile Solutions by Emmi Dental, we believe straightening your teeth shouldn’t mean a mouth full of brackets and wires. That’s why we offer clear orthodontic aligners—a modern, comfortable, and nearly invisible way to move teeth into a healthier, more confident smile.

You’ve probably heard of Invisalign® because it’s the brand everyone recognizes, and yes—we do offer Invisalign. But for most of our patients, we’ve found that the Dandy Clear Aligner system (used with our Trios digital scanner) gives us just as predictable of a result at a more affordable price. Our team has seen great success using these aligners for simple to moderately complex cases, and because they’re planned and monitored right here in our office, you won’t feel like “just another case” in a big orthodontic chain.

Why patients love clear aligners with us:

• Nearly invisible: Straighten your teeth without anyone noticing.
• Convenient: Pop them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
• Comfortable: Smooth, custom-fit trays designed just for your teeth.
• Doctor-directed care: Your treatment is overseen by the same team you already trust.
• Confidence boost: At the end of treatment, you’ll also receive complimentary at-home whitening to finish your smile glow-up.

What makes our approach different

We’re not an orthodontic-only office—and that’s intentional. We focus on the kinds of cases where aligners make a big difference without requiring specialty-level orthodontics. That means mild crowding, spacing, and bite adjustments that can realistically and comfortably be managed with aligners.

Our go-to system is the Dandy 20 plan, which allows for up to 20 steps of movement, built-in refinements, and retainers to protect your results. For patients who prefer the Invisalign® brand name, we can provide that as well, but most of our patients choose our standard aligners for the value, comfort, and results they deliver.

What treatment looks like:

1. Digital Scan (no goop!) – We use our Trios 3D scanner to capture a precise digital model of your teeth.
2. Smile Preview – You’ll see a computer-generated step-by-step simulation of how your teeth will shift.
3. Custom Aligners – Wear each set of aligners for about 1–2 weeks, removing only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
4. Progress Checks – We’ll see you about every 6 weeks to make sure things are moving as planned.
5. The Finish Line – Treatment typically takes 9–15 months, and when you’re done, you’ll get free professional whitening to show off your new smile at its brightest.

Cost and options

Our standard clear aligner package (Dandy 20) includes everything you need: your aligners, digital planning, progress checks, refinements, and your first set of retainers. Extra retainers are available if you want backups (many patients do!).

For those who specifically want the Invisalign® brand, we’re happy to provide that as well, though the lab fees make it a higher investment. We’ll walk you through both options at your consultation so you can decide what feels right for you.
