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. Unlike fixed braces, results depend on actually wearing the trays as prescribed, not just owning a box of them.
For teeth needing more than simple tipping, small bonded attachments act as anchor points the aligner pushes against. Your provider maps out which teeth need attachments during digital treatment planning, before the first tray is ordered.
Intraoral scanners replace the old goopy impressions for a faster, more accurate starting point.
You see a simulation of your projected final smile before ordering a single tray.
Mid-course corrections are common, and most plans include refinement trays rather than billing them separately.
Trays come out for meals and photos, but results depend on hitting the twenty-two-hour target.
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.
Spacing between teeth closes gradually through calibrated pressure across successive trays.
Certain overbite and underbite cases respond well to aligners when caught before they're severe.
Small tooth-colored attachments give the aligner extra leverage on harder-to-move teeth.
Fitted immediately after the final tray to prevent teeth from drifting back.
A coordinator answers and asks a few quick questions about your specific case and how urgent it is.
We match you with a nearby specialist experienced in this exact procedure and check real-time openings.
The specialist examines your case, often with same-visit imaging, and gives you a cost estimate before starting anything.
Treatment proceeds on the agreed plan, with aftercare instructions and a follow-up if the case calls for one.
"Explained every step and the cost before doing anything. First visit that didn't feel rushed."
"Didn't have to wait weeks like my old dentist. Got routed straight to a specialist who knew what to do."
"Was honest that the closest office was full and got me into a nearby one instead of leaving me stuck."
Most cases run six to eighteen months depending on how much correction is needed.
Some pressure is normal with each new tray, but it tends to be less intense than wire adjustments.
Around twenty-two hours daily is standard, removed only for eating and brushing.
Existing dental work is factored into the digital scan and treatment plan.
Depending on your stage, moving to the next tray or getting a replacement made are both options.
