Clear Aligners

Clear orthodontic aligners can straighten a patient's teeth without the wires
and brackets of traditional braces. Each aligner is custom-made to fit over
your teeth and is designed to gradually move teeth into their proper position

How do clear aligners work?

Clear aligners are used as an alternative to traditional braces, and are
designed to help guide teeth into proper position. Just like braces, clear
aligners use gradual pressure to control tooth movement, but without any
metal wires or brackets. The aligners are made with a strong plastic
material that has been fabricated to fit your mouth. As treatment
progresses you switch aligners. Each aligner is a little different, so your
teeth move a little more with every change.

Aligners are worn for at least 22 hours each day, with new aligners every
two to three weeks. The length of your treatment depends on the severity
of your case, and like braces treatment time varies
