Clear aligners work by applying calibrated, incremental pressure through a series of custom trays, each one shifting your teeth slightly closer to their final position. A digital scan replaces the old goopy impression trays, mapping your bite in minutes and generating a full treatment simulation before you commit.
Aligners handle a wide range of cases now, though a provider will tell you upfront if your case is better suited to fixed braces instead. Compliance matters here — aligners only work if they're worn roughly twenty-two hours a day, removed just for eating and brushing.
Attachments — small tooth-colored bumps bonded temporarily to certain teeth — give the aligner extra grip for more difficult movements like rotations. That planning happens upfront, so you know from day one which stages will include attachments.
Your treatment plan starts from a 3D digital scan rather than a physical mold that can shift or distort.
You see a digital preview of your projected final smile before agreeing to start treatment.
Mid-course corrections are common and typically included rather than billed as a separate service.
Unlike brackets, aligners come out for meals and photos, provided you stay disciplined about wear time.
Our network specialists cover the full range of this procedure, from the routine case to the complicated one.
A 3D scan generates a preview of your projected results before any trays are ordered.
Aligners gradually shift crowded teeth into alignment over a series of custom trays.
Spacing between teeth is closed gradually through calibrated pressure across successive trays.
Mild bite discrepancies can often be corrected with aligners paired with attachments for extra grip.
Minimal enamel reshaping between teeth sometimes creates space needed for proper alignment.
A custom retainer holds your new alignment in place once the active tray series is complete.

Most cases run between six and eighteen months depending on how much correction is needed.
Aligners typically cause milder, shorter-lived pressure discomfort compared to the tightening soreness of braces.
Around twenty-two hours daily is the standard recommendation, removing them only to eat and brush.
Existing dental work is usually accounted for during the digital scan and treatment planning.
Skipping ahead to the next tray or getting a replacement made are both options depending on your stage.
