Clear aligners move teeth through a series of custom trays, each one nudging your bite slightly closer to its final position than the last. An intraoral scanner captures your bite digitally and produces a stage-by-stage simulation of where your smile is headed.
Mild-to-moderate crowding and spacing respond well to aligners; more complex bite corrections may still call for traditional brackets. They only work if worn roughly twenty-two hours a day, out just for eating and brushing — the trays don't do the work by sitting in a drawer.
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.
Intraoral scanners replace the old goopy impressions for a faster, more accurate starting point.
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.
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.
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.
Small tooth-colored attachments give the aligner extra leverage on harder-to-move teeth.
A custom retainer holds your new alignment in place once the active tray series finishes.
