Clear aligners straighten smiles by applying gentle, consistent pressure to the teeth over a period of time.
Treatment involves multiple sets of custom-made clear aligners. Each aligner plays its specific role and is then switched out for the next one, until the desired results are achieved.
Benefits of Clear Aligners
Smooth, Removable Aligners
The smooth, lightweight construction of aligners means there's less friction than with the metal and wires that come with traditional braces. Plus, since they're removable, you can take them out to eat, brush, and floss, leaving these daily routines unaffected by treatment.
Low-Profile Aesthetic
The discreet look of clear aligners is probably one of this treatment's biggest benefits. In fact, many adult patients make the decision to undergo orthodontic treatment they may have been putting off because clear aligners allow them to put their aesthetic concerns to rest.
Fewer Visits to the Orthodontist
Unlike metal braces, clear aligners require no adjustments. This means there's no need to visit our office for adjustment appointments – just the occasional checkup.
