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. That planning happens upfront, so you know from day one which stages include attachments.
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.
If teeth need extra adjustment partway through, that's typically already accounted for in the plan.
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.
Aligners gradually shift crowded teeth into alignment across a series of custom trays.
Front-tooth gaps typically close over a series of tray changes spaced roughly two weeks apart.
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.
You describe what's going on in a minute or two; no automated menu to fight through first.
