Clear aligners move teeth through a series of custom trays, each one nudging your bite slightly closer to its final position than the last. A digital scan replaces the old impression goop, mapping your teeth in minutes and generating a preview of the full treatment before you agree to anything.
Aligners handle a wide range of cases these days, though a provider will say upfront if brackets are the better fit for yours. Unlike fixed braces, results depend on actually wearing the trays as prescribed, not just owning a box of them.
Attachments — small tooth-colored bumps bonded temporarily to certain teeth — give the aligner extra grip for harder movements like rotations. That planning happens upfront, so you know from day one which stages include attachments.
Intraoral scanners replace the old goopy impressions for a faster, more accurate starting point.
You see a simulation of your projected final smile before ordering a single tray.
If teeth need extra adjustment partway through, that's typically already accounted for in the plan.
Flexibility comes with responsibility — consistent wear is what keeps the timeline on track.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist we route you to has handled it before.
Your provider walks through the simulated movement stage by stage during the consult.
Aligners gradually shift crowded teeth into alignment across a series of custom trays.
Spacing between teeth closes gradually through calibrated pressure across successive trays.
Certain overbite and underbite cases respond well to aligners when caught before they're severe.
Minimal enamel reshaping between teeth sometimes creates the space alignment requires.
A custom retainer holds your new alignment in place once the active tray series finishes.

Around twenty-two hours daily is standard, removed only for eating and brushing.
