Clear aligners move teeth through a series of custom trays, each one nudging your bite slightly closer to its final position than the last. A digital scan replaces the old impression goop, mapping your teeth in minutes and generating a preview of the full treatment before you agree to anything.
Aligners handle a wide range of cases these days, though a provider will say upfront if brackets are the better fit for yours. 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.
A stage-by-stage animation shows the expected movement before you agree to start.
Mid-course corrections are common, and most plans include refinement trays rather than billing them separately.
Flexibility comes with responsibility — consistent wear is what keeps the timeline on track.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist we route you to has handled it before.
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.
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.
You describe what's going on in a minute or two; no automated menu to fight through first.
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.
You leave with the issue addressed and next steps already scheduled if needed.
"Called and they were upfront that my usual office was booked, then found me somewhere open the same week."
"Didn't have to wait weeks like my old dentist. Got routed straight to a specialist who knew what to do."
"No upsells, no pressure. Just the treatment I needed at the price I was told upfront."
Mild cases can wrap up in as little as six months; more involved crowding can take a year or more.
Aligners generally cause milder, shorter pressure discomfort than the tightening soreness of braces.
Consistent wear in that twenty-to-twenty-two-hour range is what keeps treatment on schedule.
Crowns and fillings don't automatically rule you out; the simulation accounts for them.
Depending on your stage, moving to the next tray or getting a replacement made are both options.
Cost is often comparable to braces and depends on case complexity, with a written estimate given upfront.
