What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are thin, transparent trays that fit snugly over your teeth and gradually guide them into a straighter position.
Sometimes called invisible braces, they are a removable alternative to metal braces, with no brackets or wires.
Because they are made from clear medical-grade plastic, most people will not notice you are wearing them.
Clear aligners can treat a wide range of issues, including crowding, gaps and spacing, overbites, underbites and crossbites.
How Do Clear Aligners Work?
Your teeth are as unique as your fingerprints, so every set of clear aligners is made just for you. We design your custom aligners from an in-studio 3D digital scan rather than messy at-home impression kits, for accuracy and comfort.
Once treatment begins you wear each set of aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day and change to a new set every week. Each tray applies gentle, controlled pressure to move your teeth a small amount at a time.
Because they are removable there are no diet restrictions, you simply take them out to eat and to drink anything other than water.

Are Clear Aligners Right for You?
Clear aligners suit most teenagers and adults who want to straighten their teeth without visible braces.
They work well for mild to moderate crowding, spacing and gaps, and for many bite issues such as overbites, underbites and crossbites. More complex cases can often still be treated with clear aligners, and the only way to know for certain is a professional assessment.
At your free consultation our specialist orthodontists will examine your teeth and tell you honestly whether clear aligners are the right option for you.
