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.
Mild-to-moderate crowding and spacing respond well to aligners; more complex bite corrections may still call for traditional brackets. Unlike fixed braces, results depend on actually wearing the trays as prescribed, not just owning a box of them.
For teeth needing more than simple tipping, small bonded attachments act as anchor points the aligner pushes against. Your provider maps out which teeth need attachments during digital treatment planning, before the first tray is ordered.
Your treatment plan starts from a 3D digital scan instead of a physical mold that can shift.
A stage-by-stage animation shows the expected movement before you agree to start.
Mid-course corrections are common, and most plans include refinement trays rather than billing them separately.
Trays come out for meals and photos, but results depend on hitting the twenty-two-hour target.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist we route you to has handled it before.
A 3D scan generates a preview of your projected results before any trays are ordered.
Crowded front teeth are one of the most common cases aligners successfully resolve.
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.
Fitted immediately after the final tray to prevent teeth from drifting back.
