Clear aligners provide a straighter, healthier smile without the need for metal brackets and wires.

In recent years, removable clear plastic aligners have become a common option for patients looking for orthodontic treatment with a more discreet look. Our nearly invisible trays are custom made to provide gentle, gradual tooth movement with fewer office visits and shorter checkup appointments. Clear aligners can be more comfortable for patients as well since the risk of irritation to the cheeks and other soft tissues of the mouth is significantly lower.

Oral hygiene is another area in which patients can see benefits with clear aligners. Since the aligners are removable, brushing and flossing are much easier. Similarly, removing the trays when eating and drinking means food particles do not get trapped within the appliance, helping keep teeth and gums healthy with a more normalized care routine.

Clear aligners are not appropriate for everyone, however. Patient compliance is the most important factor in relation to the effectiveness of treatment with clear aligners. Simply put: if you do not wear them, they will not work. Additionally, clear aligners have different mechanical advantages and disadvantages and may not be suitable for all cases.
