Clear aligners work by applying calibrated, incremental pressure through a series of custom trays, each one shifting your teeth slightly closer to their final position. A digital scan replaces the old goopy impression trays, mapping your bite in minutes and generating a full treatment simulation before you commit.
Aligners handle a wide range of cases now, though a provider will tell you upfront if your case is better suited to fixed braces instead. Unlike braces, aligners are removable, which means results depend on actually wearing them as prescribed, not just owning the trays.
For teeth that need more than simple tipping, small bonded attachments act as anchor points the aligner can push against. Your provider maps out exactly which teeth need attachments during the digital treatment planning stage, before the first tray is ordered.
Intraoral scanners replace old-style impression trays for a faster, more accurate starting scan.
A stage-by-stage simulation shows how your teeth are expected to move before any trays are ordered.
Mid-course corrections are common and typically included rather than billed as a separate service.
Unlike brackets, aligners come out for meals and photos, provided you stay disciplined about wear time.
Our network specialists cover the full range of this procedure, from the routine case to the complicated one.
A 3D scan generates a preview of your projected results before any trays are ordered.
Crowded front teeth are among the most common cases aligners successfully correct.
Front-tooth gaps typically close over a series of tray changes spaced roughly two weeks apart.
Certain overbite and underbite cases respond to aligner treatment when caught before they're severe.
Small tooth-colored attachments give aligners extra leverage on harder-to-move teeth.
Retainers are fitted immediately after your final tray to prevent teeth from drifting back.
A coordinator answers and asks a few quick questions about your specific case and how soon you need care.
