Aligners

Clear aligners are an alternative system to traditional braces that use a sequence of individual clear, removable “trays” to gradually straighten teeth. The alignment is accomplished with a series of trays each made of clear almost invisible plastic that completely cover the teeth; each tray is slightly different, and when worn for 20 hours a day for two weeks before going on to the next set in the series, will move the teeth into an improved position. The trays are computer-generated based on proper records and diagnosis of your specific situation. Results can vary widely depending on the skill and experience of the orthodontist or dentist, as well as the patient’s compliance with continually wearing them.
