Orthodontics and clear aligners in Tampa
Straighter teeth without brackets and wires. Clear aligners move your teeth gradually, discreetly, and on a schedule that fits adult life.
Clear aligners are a series of nearly invisible trays, custom made for your teeth. Each tray moves your teeth a small step; wear them in sequence and the steps add up to a straighter smile. No brackets, no wires, no food restrictions, and most people around you will never notice you are wearing them.
Straighter teeth are not just cosmetic. Teeth that line up properly are easier to clean, wear more evenly, and put less strain on your jaw. Dr. Bustami oversees your aligner treatment personally at every checkup, and if nighttime grinding is wearing your teeth down, a custom night guard protects the investment while you sleep.

Common questions
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
It depends on how far your teeth need to move. Minor crowding can resolve in a matter of months, while bigger corrections take longer. You will get an honest estimate at your consultation, not a one-size-fits-all promise.
Do I have to wear the aligners all day?
Aligners work best worn most of the day and night, removed for meals and brushing. The trays only move teeth while they are on your teeth, so consistency is what keeps treatment on schedule.
Will people notice I am wearing aligners?
The trays are made of clear material molded closely to your teeth. In normal conversation they are very hard to spot, which is exactly why adults choose them over braces.
I grind my teeth at night. Can you help?
Yes. A custom night guard cushions your teeth while you sleep, protecting them from the wear and cracking that grinding causes. It is molded to your mouth, so it fits far better than a drugstore guard.
