We offer clear aligners to our patients because it’s often a faster, more predictable, and more comfortable option than traditional wire braces. Clear aligners can correct crowded teeth, overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite, and gaps.
What are Clear Aligners?
They are a treatment plan for straighter teeth that uses custom-sized trays, made from an innovative transparent material, that you slip onto your teeth. Most people see the results they want in just 12-18 months.
How does it work?
If we decide that clear aligners are right for you, the first step is to use our digital technology to take a precise 3D digital scan of your teeth. Using this scan, we’ll create your first set of custom clear aligners. You should wear your aligners 20-22 hours a day. Then, about every week or two—as your teeth shift—you’ll get a new set of aligners. Don’t worry, we’re involved every step of the way to monitor your progress!
Benefits of Clear Aligners
