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. Instead of physical molds, an intraoral scanner captures your bite digitally and produces a preview of how your smile will move, stage by stage.
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. Compliance matters here — aligners only work if they're worn roughly twenty-two hours a day, removed just for eating and brushing.
For teeth that need more than simple tipping, small bonded attachments act as anchor points the aligner can push against. That planning happens upfront, so you know from day one which stages will include attachments.
Your treatment plan starts from a 3D digital scan rather than a physical mold that can shift or distort.
You see a digital preview of your projected final smile before agreeing to start treatment.
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.
Your provider walks you through the simulated tooth movement stage by stage during the consult.
Aligners gradually shift crowded teeth into alignment over a series of custom trays.
Spacing between teeth is closed gradually through calibrated pressure across successive trays.
Certain overbite and underbite cases respond to aligner treatment when caught before they're severe.
Minimal enamel reshaping between teeth sometimes creates space needed for proper alignment.
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.
