What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners move teeth into alignment using a series of custom-molded, medical-grade plastic trays. Your entire treatment plan is mapped out digitally in 3D prior to manufacturing. You simply switch to a new tray set every 1–2 weeks, gently shifting your teeth stage by stage.

Their primary advantage is aesthetic discretion—the trays are virtually invisible. However, treatment success depends heavily on wearer compliance: aligners must be worn for 20–22 hours per day, removed only for meals and oral hygiene.
