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.
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.
Attachments — small tooth-colored bumps bonded temporarily to certain teeth — give the aligner extra grip for harder movements like rotations. That planning happens upfront, so you know from day one which stages include attachments.
Your treatment plan starts from a 3D digital scan instead of a physical mold that can shift.
A stage-by-stage animation shows the expected movement before you agree to start.
If teeth need extra adjustment partway through, that's typically already accounted for in the plan.
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.
Front-tooth gaps typically close over a series of tray changes spaced roughly two weeks apart.
Mild bite discrepancies can often be corrected with aligners paired with small attachments for grip.
Minimal enamel reshaping between teeth sometimes creates the space alignment requires.
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.

Most cases run six to eighteen months depending on how much correction is needed.
Aligners generally cause milder, shorter pressure discomfort than the tightening soreness of braces.

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.
