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.
Mild-to-moderate crowding, gaps, and bite issues respond well to aligners; more complex bite corrections may still need traditional brackets and wires. 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.
If teeth need extra adjustment partway through, refinement trays are built into most treatment plans.
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.
Aligners gradually shift crowded teeth into alignment over a series of custom trays.

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.
