What Is Reveal® Clear Aligner Treatment?

Reveal® is a premium clear aligner system that gradually straightens teeth using a series of custom-fabricated, removable trays. Unlike metal braces, Reveal® aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic that fits snugly over your teeth — they are virtually invisible when worn, allowing you to smile with confidence throughout the entire treatment process.

Each set of aligners is precision-engineered to apply gentle, controlled pressure to specific teeth, moving them gradually toward their ideal positions. You advance to a new set of trays every one to two weeks, with each tray representing the next incremental step in your smile transformation. The total number of trays depends on the complexity of your case.

Reveal® is an excellent choice for addressing crowding, spacing, mild to moderate bite issues, and general alignment concerns. It pairs beautifully with other cosmetic dentistry treatments — many patients combine clear aligner therapy with teeth whitening to reveal their straightened smile even brighter.

The Reveal® Clear Aligner Process

Your Reveal® journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and digital scan of your teeth at Roam Dental — no messy impression trays needed. Dr. Barbu uses this digital model to map out your personalized treatment plan, showing you a simulation of how your teeth will move and what your final smile will look like before you even start.

Your custom aligner trays are then fabricated and delivered to our office. You'll wear each set for 20–22 hours per day, removing them only for meals, drinks (other than water), and oral hygiene. Every one to two weeks you advance to the next tray in the series. Regular check-in appointments with Dr. Barbu — typically every 6–8 weeks — ensure your teeth are tracking as planned. Total treatment time usually ranges from 6 to 18 months depending on complexity.

After completing your final aligner, retainers are provided to maintain your results long-term. Consider finishing with a smile makeover consultation to add whitening or bonding to your newly straightened smile. Book your Reveal® consultation today to get started.

Life with Clear Aligners

Living with Reveal® Clear Aligners

One of the most popular advantages of Reveal® is how little it disrupts your daily life. The aligners are completely removable — you simply take them out before eating, so there are no food restrictions whatsoever. After meals, brush your teeth and rinse the aligner before reinserting it. This also makes oral hygiene far easier than with traditional braces, where food traps around brackets and wires can create challenges.

The smooth plastic material is comfortable against your gums and inner cheeks — no brackets to irritate soft tissue, no wires to adjust. Some patients experience mild pressure when switching to a new tray, which is a normal sign that the aligner is working. This typically subsides within a day or two as your teeth adjust. Most people find the experience far more comfortable than they anticipated.

Upon completing treatment, wearing retainers as prescribed will ensure your teeth stay in their new positions for the long term. The investment you've made in straightening your smile deserves to be protected. Contact Dr. Barbu today to find out if Reveal® clear aligners are the right choice for your smile goals.
