Clear aligners are the invisible way to straighten teeth without braces. Clear aligners use a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth, without metal or wires.

Clear aligners use 3-D computer imaging technology to depict the complete treatment plan from the initial position to the final desired position from which a series of custom-made, clear “aligners” are produced. Each “aligner” moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about two weeks, then is replaced by the next in the series until the final position is achieved.

• Clear aligners are clear. You can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing.
• Clear aligners are removable. Unlike braces, you can eat and drink what you want during treatment. You can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene.
• Clear aligners are comfortable. There are no metal brackets or wires as with braces to cause mouth irritation, and no metal or wires means you spend less time in the doctor’s chair getting adjustments.
• Clear aligners allow you to view your own virtual treatment plan before you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.

Aligners are made of clear, strong medical grade plastic that is virtually invisible when worn.

Aligners are clear and look similar to tooth-whitening trays, but are custom-made for a better fit to move teeth. Some orthodontists and dentists have referred to them as “contact lenses for teeth.”

For years, orthodontists and dentists have used removable appliances for limited treatment. Today, with the application of computer technology and custom manufacturing, Clear Aligners treats a broader range of cases with greater precision.

Worldwide, almost 250,000 patients have been treated with Clear aligners. The number grows daily.
