Clear Aligners in Tucson & Oro Valley
Discreet aligners that correct your bite and straighten teeth — from Dr. Corey Schumer, serving Tucson, Oro Valley, Saddlebrooke, Rancho Vistoso, and Catalina Foothills since 2012. No brackets, no wires, no rotating dentists — Dr. Schumer treats every case personally.
Clear aligners like Invisalign or Clear Correct have changed adult orthodontics. Dr. Schumer uses OrthoBrink aligners and treats adults across Tucson and Oro Valley who want a more confident smile without the look of traditional braces. Every case is planned and managed by Dr. Schumer personally — no associates, no handing-off to a treatment coordinator.
Adult orthodontics, done conservatively.

What clear aligners look like
Nearly invisible at conversational distance.
Clear aligners are custom-fit, removable trays that gradually shift your teeth into a better position — without brackets, wires, or the visual impact of traditional braces. Most people won't notice them unless you tell them.
Dr. Schumer uses OrthoBrink aligners and treats adults across Tucson and Oro Valley. Each set of aligners is swapped every 1-2 weeks, with check-ins every 6-10 weeks to monitor progress.

Technology Dr. Schumer uses
The iTero digital scanner.
Dr. Schumer uses the iTero digital scanner to create a precise 3D map of your teeth — no goopy impressions required. The scan takes minutes, is comfortable, and gives Dr. Schumer the data he needs to plan your treatment accurately.
From there, Dr. Schumer designs your aligner sequence personally — no treatment coordinator, no rotating dentists. The scan stays on file so progress can be tracked precisely at each check-in.
About your dentist
Dr. Corey Schumer — 12+ years of adult orthodontics in Tucson.
Dr. Schumer acquired Schumer Dental's East Tucson office on Wilmot Road in 2012 and opened the Oro Valley office at 11115 N La Cañada Dr in late 2025.

Common questions.
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Most cases take 9 months to 2 years depending on complexity. Dr. Schumer will give you a realistic estimate after your consultation.
How many hours per day do I need to wear them?
22+ hours per day, every day. You can take them out to eat and brush, but compliance is critical for results. Less wear time means slower results.
Can I eat normally with clear aligners?
You take aligners out to eat, so there are fewer diet restrictions and easier hygiene at home than with traditional braces. You can eat more foods if you desire.
Will people notice I'm wearing them?
Clear aligners are nearly invisible at conversational distance. Most people won't notice unless you tell them.
Are clear aligners right for me?
Dr. Schumer treats adults with a variety of cases, but extensive or severe orthodontic cases will be referred to an orthodontist. A consultation is the only way to know for sure.
What if my case is too complex for clear aligners?
Dr. Schumer will refer you to a trusted orthodontist for traditional braces or more advanced treatment. We want you to get the best outcome, even if it's not with us.
Where can I get clear aligners in Tucson?
