How does clear aligner treatment work?
Clear aligner treatment begins with a digital scan of your teeth and a customized treatment plan that maps the entire movement sequence from start to finish. You receive a series of clear aligner trays, each worn for one to two weeks, that gently and precisely move your teeth according to the plan.
The aligners are removable, which means you take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss — maintaining full oral hygiene throughout your treatment with none of the restrictions that come with fixed braces.
Is clear aligner treatment right for me?
Clear aligner treatment is highly effective for mild to moderate orthodontic issues. It works well for:
- Crowded teeth
- Spaced or gapped teeth
- Mild overbite, underbite, or crossbite
- Teeth that have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment
- Adults and older teens who prefer a discreet, removable option
Retainers
After completing clear aligner treatment, retainers are essential to maintaining your results. Without retention, teeth will gradually shift back toward their original positions. We provide custom-fitted retainers at the conclusion of treatment and will guide you on a wear schedule to protect your results for the long term.
