Invisalign and Clear Aligners in Lincoln, NE
At Clabaugh Orthodontics, we offer Invisalign along with Spark, Solventum Clarity, and our own uLab clear aligners, so you can straighten your teeth without brackets or wires. Invisalign is the most recognized name in clear aligner treatment, and it fits seamlessly into a busy life. Whether you are a working professional, a student, or a parent who wants a low-profile option, clear aligners make it easy to get the smile you have always wanted.
Your Clear Path to a Straighter Smile
Clear aligners are a modern, nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth. There are no brackets, no wires, and no metal in sight. Instead, they use a series of custom-made, removable trays that gently shift your teeth into place over time.
Dr. Richard Clabaugh tailors your aligners specifically for your smile using advanced digital imaging and precise planning. Invisalign, Spark, Solventum Clarity, and uLab aligners are all custom-made for you. Whether you are heading into a meeting, sitting in class, or out with friends, your treatment keeps working quietly behind the scenes.
Why Patients in Lincoln Choose Invisalign and Clear Aligners
Clear aligners bring a modern edge to orthodontic treatment. They treat a wide range of cases and give you a comfortable, convenient alternative to traditional braces. Here is what makes them stand out.
Nearly Invisible
Your aligners are made from transparent, smooth plastic, so your treatment stays virtually invisible from start to finish. Unlike metal braces, there is no shiny hardware drawing attention. Your aligners quietly do the work until your smile is ready for the spotlight.
Removable and Convenient
You have a busy life, and your treatment should work around it. Clear aligners are completely removable, so you can eat what you love and keep brushing and flossing simple. There are no food restrictions and no complicated cleaning. Just wear them at least 22 hours a day to keep your progress on track. That freedom is a big reason Invisalign works so well for busy professionals.
Comfortable Fit
Clear aligners are crafted from smooth, flexible, BPA-free plastic and fit your mouth so well that you may forget you are wearing them.
Precise, Digitally Planned Results
You get the straightest, healthiest smile possible because we use advanced digital technology to plan the exact movement of every individual tooth before treatment even begins.

Invisalign or Braces: Which Is Right for You?
Invisalign and clear aligners handle most common concerns, including crowding, spacing, overbites, and underbites. For more complex cases, traditional metal braces may be the better path.

Invisalign and Clear Aligner FAQs
Do you offer Invisalign in Lincoln, NE?
Yes. Clabaugh Orthodontics offers Invisalign at our Lincoln office, along with Spark, Solventum Clarity, and our in-house uLab aligners. Dr. Clabaugh will help you choose the system that best fits your smile goals.
What are clear aligners, and how do they work?
Clear aligners are custom-made plastic trays that gently shift your teeth into place over time. You wear each set for about one to two weeks before moving to the next. Over the course of treatment, they guide your teeth into their ideal positions with no brackets or wires required.
What is the difference between Invisalign, Spark, Clarity, and uLab aligners?
All four work in a similar way, but each has its own strengths. Invisalign uses SmartTrack material built for comfort and control. Spark aligners are made from TruGEN, a highly clear, stain-resistant plastic. Solventum Clarity aligners offer precision and flexibility for more complex cases. uLab aligners are designed and made in our office for faster turnaround and real-time adjustments. Dr. Clabaugh will recommend the best option for your needs, and you can see everything we offer on our orthodontic treatment options page.
Are clear aligners effective for all orthodontic issues?
Clear aligners treat a wide range of concerns, including crowding, spacing, overbites, and underbites. For more complex cases, braces may be the better choice, and clear braces offer a fixed option that still stays subtle. Dr. Clabaugh will evaluate your smile at your consultation and let you know what fits best.
How many hours a day do I need to wear my aligners?
For the best results, wear your aligners at least 22 hours a day. You take them out only to eat, drink anything other than water, brush, and floss.
Are clear aligners comfortable?
Yes. Clear aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic and are custom-fitted to your teeth. Most patients find them very comfortable, with minimal irritation.
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Treatment time depends on your situation. Simple improvements may take three to six months, while more complex needs can take up to 18 to 24 months. You can read more about how long treatment takes across different options. Dr. Clabaugh will give you a personalized timeline at your first visit.
Will people be able to tell I am wearing clear aligners?
Clear aligners are discreet, so most people will not notice you are wearing them, especially highly transparent brands like Invisalign and Spark.
How do I take care of my aligners?
Rinse your aligners regularly and clean them daily with a soft toothbrush or an aligner cleaner. Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic, and keep them in their case when they are not in your mouth to prevent loss or damage.
Does insurance cover clear aligners?
Many orthodontic insurance plans help cover clear aligner treatment. Our team will review your benefits with you and help you get the most from them. You can learn more on our financing and insurance page.
