The clear aligner process begins with a consultation and digital scan to create a customized treatment plan. A series of clear aligners is then designed to gradually move your teeth into alignment. Each set is worn for about one to two weeks before switching to the next. Regular checkups allow your provider to monitor progress and ensure your treatment stays on track.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are custom-made transparent trays designed to guide teeth into proper alignment gently. Using a series of removable aligners, each set applies controlled pressure to shift teeth into their ideal position.
