Clear aligners work by applying calibrated, incremental pressure through a series of custom trays, each one shifting your teeth slightly closer to their final position. Instead of physical molds, an intraoral scanner captures your bite digitally and produces a preview of how your smile will move, stage by stage.
Aligners handle a wide range of cases now, though a provider will tell you upfront if your case is better suited to fixed braces instead. Compliance matters here — aligners only work if they're worn roughly twenty-two hours a day, removed just for eating and brushing.
Attachments — small tooth-colored bumps bonded temporarily to certain teeth — give the aligner extra grip for more difficult movements like rotations. Your provider maps out exactly which teeth need attachments during the digital treatment planning stage, before the first tray is ordered.
Your treatment plan starts from a 3D digital scan rather than a physical mold that can shift or distort.
You see a digital preview of your projected final smile before agreeing to start treatment.
If teeth need extra adjustment partway through, refinement trays are built into most treatment plans.
Unlike brackets, aligners come out for meals and photos, provided you stay disciplined about wear time.
Our network specialists cover the full range of this procedure, from the routine case to the complicated one.
Your provider walks you through the simulated tooth movement stage by stage during the consult.
Aligners gradually shift crowded teeth into alignment over a series of custom trays.
Front-tooth gaps typically close over a series of tray changes spaced roughly two weeks apart.
Certain overbite and underbite cases respond to aligner treatment when caught before they're severe.
Minimal enamel reshaping between teeth sometimes creates space needed for proper alignment.
Retainers are fitted immediately after your final tray to prevent teeth from drifting back.

You leave with the issue addressed and a plan for any next steps already scheduled.
"They walked me through the cost and the procedure before I agreed to anything. Appreciated that."
"Didn't have to wait weeks like my old dentist. Straight to a specialist who knew exactly what to do."
"No upsells, no pressure. Just the treatment I needed at the price I was told."
Most cases run between six and eighteen months depending on how much correction is needed.
There's usually some pressure with each new tray, but it tends to be less intense than traditional wire adjustments.
Around twenty-two hours daily is the standard recommendation, removing them only to eat and brush.
Existing dental work is usually accounted for during the digital scan and treatment planning.
Skipping ahead to the next tray or getting a replacement made are both options depending on your stage.
Cost is often comparable to braces and varies by case complexity; a written estimate is given at consultation.
