Want straighter teeth without a mouth full of metal? Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent trays that gradually move your teeth into position. Most people won't even notice you are wearing them.
They are removable, so you can eat whatever you like and brush and floss normally, making them a popular choice for working professionals and college students.
How clear aligners work
Using a digital 3D scan of your teeth, we plan every movement from start to finish on a computer. A series of aligners is then made, each one slightly different from the last. As you switch to each new set, your teeth move a little closer to their final position.
You can even see a 3D preview of your expected result before treatment begins.
Benefits over traditional braces
- ✓Virtually invisible, so you can smile freely during treatment
- ✓Removable for eating, brushing, and special occasions
- ✓No metal wires or brackets to irritate cheeks and lips
- ✓Fewer emergency visits, since there is nothing to break
- ✓Easier to keep teeth and gums clean
Who are aligners suitable for?
Aligners work very well for mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and many bite problems. Severe or complex cases may still be better treated with fixed braces. The key requirement is discipline: aligners only work when you wear them for 20 to 22 hours every day.

Frequently asked questions
Can I eat with aligners in?
No. Remove them to eat or drink anything other than plain water, then brush before putting them back in to avoid trapping food against your teeth.
Will aligners affect my speech?
You may have a slight lisp for the first day or two. Most people adapt very quickly.
Are invisible braces more expensive?
Aligners generally cost more than metal braces, but the difference is often smaller than people expect. We will give you a clear quote after your scan.
