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.
Aligners handle a wide range of cases these days, though a provider will say upfront if brackets are the better fit for yours. 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.
You see a simulation of your projected final smile before ordering a single tray.
Mid-course corrections are common, and most plans include refinement trays rather than billing them separately.
Flexibility comes with responsibility — consistent wear is what keeps the timeline on track.
Our network specialists cover the full range of this procedure, from the routine case to the complicated one.
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.
Fitted immediately after the final tray to prevent teeth from drifting back.
