Clear Aligners

Technology in orthodontics is constantly improving, and clear aligners offer an esthetic, comfortable alternative to braces.

Clear Aligner 101:

• Clear aligners are nearly-invisible, plastic trays formed to put gentle pressure on your teeth, leading to tooth movement.
• Clear aligners are made in a sequence, each aligner has a prescribed, pre-estimated amount of tooth movement.
• Clear aligners are comfortable and convenient. They are removed for brushing, flossing, eating, and drinking.
• Clear aligners are worn for a prescribed amount of time before changing to the next aligner.
• Attachments are little additions of tooth-filling material to give aligners better grip and fit to your teeth.
• Attachments are designed and planned by the orthodontist.
