Clear aligners work by applying calibrated, incremental pressure through a series of custom trays, each one shifting your teeth slightly closer to their final position. Instead of physical molds, an intraoral scanner captures your bite digitally and produces a preview of how your smile will move, stage by stage.
Aligners handle a wide range of cases now, though a provider will tell you upfront if your case is better suited to fixed braces instead. Unlike braces, aligners are removable, which means results depend on actually wearing them as prescribed, not just owning the trays.
Attachments — small tooth-colored bumps bonded temporarily to certain teeth — give the aligner extra grip for more difficult movements like rotations. Your provider maps out exactly which teeth need attachments during the digital treatment planning stage, before the first tray is ordered.
Intraoral scanners replace old-style impression trays for a faster, more accurate starting scan.
You see a digital preview of your projected final smile before agreeing to start treatment.
If teeth need extra adjustment partway through, refinement trays are built into most treatment plans.
Unlike brackets, aligners come out for meals and photos, provided you stay disciplined about wear time.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist you reach through us has handled it before.
Your provider walks you through the simulated tooth movement stage by stage during the consult.
Crowded front teeth are among the most common cases aligners successfully correct.
Front-tooth gaps typically close over a series of tray changes spaced roughly two weeks apart.
Mild bite discrepancies can often be corrected with aligners paired with attachments for extra grip.
Minimal enamel reshaping between teeth sometimes creates space needed for proper alignment.
Retainers are fitted immediately after your final tray to prevent teeth from drifting back.
