Clear aligners move teeth through a series of custom trays, each one nudging your bite slightly closer to its final position than the last. An intraoral scanner captures your bite digitally and produces a stage-by-stage simulation of where your smile is headed.
Mild-to-moderate crowding and spacing respond well to aligners; more complex bite corrections may still call for traditional brackets. They only work if worn roughly twenty-two hours a day, out just for eating and brushing — the trays don't do the work by sitting in a drawer.
Attachments — small tooth-colored bumps bonded temporarily to certain teeth — give the aligner extra grip for harder movements like rotations. Your provider maps out which teeth need attachments during digital treatment planning, before the first tray is ordered.
Intraoral scanners replace the old goopy impressions for a faster, more accurate starting point.
You see a simulation of your projected final smile before ordering a single tray.
If teeth need extra adjustment partway through, that's typically already accounted for in the plan.
Flexibility comes with responsibility — consistent wear is what keeps the timeline on track.
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 across a series of custom trays.
Spacing between teeth closes gradually through calibrated pressure across successive trays.
Certain overbite and underbite cases respond well to aligners when caught before they're severe.
Small tooth-colored attachments give the aligner extra leverage on harder-to-move teeth.
Fitted immediately after the final tray to prevent teeth from drifting back.
