Clear Aligners

One of the most recent options in orthodontic treatment that has provided a more discreet, convenient, and comfortable method of care is a custom sequence of removable clear aligners that gradually move the teeth into their correct positions.

Clear Aligners are a form of orthodontic treatment that works to correct many different types of malocclusions through the use of a series of clear plastic trays called aligners. As a more discreet, comfortable and completely removable method of care, clear aligners provide an effective alternative to traditional orthodontic braces and metal wires for certain types of malocclusions.

Clear aligners use advanced 3-D computer imaging technology to formulate a sequence of custom-made pieces. The aligners, each of which is worn for a couple of weeks, incrementally move the teeth into place until the final desired corrections are reached. The advantage and appeal of the clear aligner method is that the clear aligners are more cosmetic, comfortable and convenient than other orthodontic appliances and operate with minimal interference to daily activities. Clear aligners allow teens and adults to enjoy eating all of their favorite foods, and engage in sports without the fear of breaking their orthodontic appliances or sharp poking wires. Moreover, as the aligners are completely removable, tooth brushing and flossing are much easier as there is no need to clean in between any attached orthodontic brackets or wires.
