Clear Aligners

What are clear aligners?

Clear aligners are an effective, cosmetic alternative to traditional metal braces, because they use a system of clear, removable trays used to straighten teeth. Each aligner is custom-made to fit over your teeth and is designed to gradually move teeth into their proper position.

How Clear Aligners Work

Just like braces, clear aligners use gradual force to control tooth movement, but without any metal wires or brackets. The aligners are made with a strong plastic material that is 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.

Why choose clear aligners for orthodontic treatment?

  • Aesthetic Appeal

    Aligners are transparent and nearly invisible, making them an excellent choice for those who want a subtle treatment.

  • Comfort

    Without metal brackets or wires, there’s less risk of mouth irritation, and aligners are smooth and comfortable to wear.

  • Removable

    The aligners can be taken out for eating, brushing, and flossing, which allows for easier oral hygiene compared to traditional braces.

  • Flexibility

    Whether you’re a teen involved in sports or an adult with a busy social calendar, aligners fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.

  • Effectiveness

    Clear aligners can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, from mild crowding and spacing to more complex cases involving overbites or crossbites.

  • Fewer Emergencies

    With no wires or brackets to break, clear aligners tend to result in fewer orthodontic emergencies, like poking wires or broken brackets.
