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.
Your treatment plan starts from a 3D digital scan instead of a physical mold that can shift.
A stage-by-stage animation shows the expected movement before you agree to start.
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.
Your provider walks through the simulated movement stage by stage during the consult.
Aligners gradually shift crowded teeth into alignment across a series of custom trays.
Front-tooth gaps typically close over a series of tray changes spaced roughly two weeks apart.
Mild bite discrepancies can often be corrected with aligners paired with small attachments for grip.
Minimal enamel reshaping between teeth sometimes creates the space alignment requires.
A custom retainer holds your new alignment in place once the active tray series finishes.
