Clear aligners are removable orthodontic appliances designed to gradually move teeth into better alignment.
How do aligners work?
A series of custom-made trays applies controlled pressure to move teeth over time.
What does treatment involve?
Treatment begins with an orthodontic assessment and a plan based on your bite and alignment needs.
Are aligners right for everyone?
Some cases are suitable for aligners, while others may benefit more from braces. A dental professional can assess your options.
