Clear Aligners

A Straighter Smile, Made Simple

Looking for a discreet, comfortable way to straighten your teeth? Clear aligners may be the perfect solution. At Cox Family Dentistry, we proudly offer aligners in Sikeston, MO to help patients of all ages achieve a beautifully aligned smile – without the hassle of traditional braces.

We use a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position. The aligners are nearly invisible, removable, and custom fit – making it easier than ever to improve your smile with confidence and convenience.

Why Choose Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are one of the most advanced and trusted systems in the world for correcting teeth formation. It offers several key benefits compared to metal braces:

  • Virtually invisible – No brackets, wires, or noticeable appliances
  • Removable – Take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss
  • Comfortable – Smooth plastic design with no sharp edges
  • Convenient – Fewer office visits than traditional braces
  • Effective – Can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues


Whether you’re a teen, working professional, or adult who’s always wanted a straighter smile, aligners are a discreet and flexible option.

What Can Aligners Treat?

Aligners are a powerful solution for many common alignment issues, including:

  • Crooked or crowded teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbites and underbites
  • Crossbites and open bites
  • Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment

During your consultation, Dr. Sam Cox will assess your bite, discuss your goals, and determine if aligners are right for you.

How Aligners Work

The aligner process is simple, personalized, and designed to fit your lifestyle:

Step 1: Consultation

We begin with a detailed exam and digital impressions of your teeth. Dr. Cox will create a customized treatment plan and show you a preview of your expected results.

Step 2: Your Custom Aligners

You’ll receive a series of custom-made clear aligners. Each set is worn for about two weeks, gradually guiding your teeth into alignment.

Step 3: Progress & Check-ins

You’ll visit our Sikeston dental office every 6–8 weeks so we can monitor your progress and provide new sets of aligners. These check-ins are quick, easy, and less frequent than traditional orthodontic appointments.

Step 4: Your New Smile

Once your treatment is complete, we’ll provide a custom retainer to maintain your results and keep your smile looking great for years to come.

How Long Do Aligners Take?

Treatment times vary depending on your unique smile, but many patients complete aligner treatment in 12 to 18 months. Some minor cases can be resolved even sooner. Dr. Cox will provide a timeline tailored to your needs so you know what to expect from day one.

Aligners vs. Braces: Which Is Right for You?

While both options straighten teeth, aligners offer distinct advantages for patients seeking a more flexible and subtle solution. Unlike traditional braces, aligners are removable and don’t require dietary restrictions or complicated cleaning routines.

If aesthetics, comfort, and convenience are priorities, aligners may be the best fit for your lifestyle.

Caring for Your Aligners

Taking care of your Invisalign aligners is simple:

  • Remove them before eating or drinking anything other than water
  • Brush and rinse them daily with lukewarm water
  • Keep them in their case when not in use
  • Wear them 20–22 hours per day for best results


Our team will walk you through everything you need to know to stay on track and protect your progress.
