Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a discreet and effective way to improve your smile.
These custom-fitted, transparent plastic trays can be an excellent treatment option to straighten teeth and align your bite.
Clear plastic alignment trays are worn over the teeth and are hardly noticeable.
As you progress through the series of trays, your teeth gradually move into the correct position.
At the first appointment, a 3D image of your teeth is captured using an intraoral scanner. This detailed image will aid in the fabrication of your aligners.
Then it is sent to a dental laboratory, where an expert technician will fabricate your aligner trays, each slightly adjusting the position of your teeth.
When your aligners are ready, your doctor will ensure that the first tray in the series fits securely over your teeth.
Small attachments may be bonded to your teeth to facilitate specific tooth movements, such as rotations.
Over time, you'll regularly change out the aligner trays for new ones.
Once the desired alignment is achieved, the esthetics of your smile and the function of your teeth will be improved.
Consult with your doctor or orthodontist to determine if clear aligners are the right choice for your unique situation, as they may not be suitable for all alignment issues.
