What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent trays that gently & gradually shift teeth into the desired position. They provide an alternative to traditional braces, offering a more comfortable and virtually invisible way to straighten teeth.

How to Care for Your Clear Aligners

Our Clear Aligner Process

1. Consultation & Digital Impressions

We begin with a comprehensive evaluation and take digital scans or impressions to create your custom aligners.

2. Custom Aligner Fabrication

Your aligners are crafted using advanced 3D technology to ensure precise movement.

3. Wearing Your Aligners

Aligners should be worn 20-22 hours per day and only removed for eating, drinking, or oral hygiene. Every 1-2 weeks, you switch to the next set of aligners, gradually shifting your teeth.

4. Progress Checkups

Periodic visits (every 6-8 weeks) ensure your treatment is progressing correctly. We provide adjustments if needed to optimize results.

5. Final Results & Retention

Once treatment is complete, custom retainers are provided to maintain your new smile. Regular dental checkups help ensure lasting results.
