Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are nearly invisible and removable, making it easy to eat, drink and maintain oral hygiene without disrupting your daily life. They are a discreet and effective way to straighten teeth for adults and teens with mild to moderate alignment issues. They can correct problems such as crowded teeth, gaps or bite concerns.
Booking a consultation for clear aligners will allow your dentist to give you a clear answer on whether clear aligners are best for your needs. During your consultation, your dentist will evaluate your oral health, bite alignment and treatment goals to determine if clear aligners are suitable. Not every case requires traditional braces, but complex bite or severe alignment issues may need additional orthodontic solutions.
Clear aligners use a series of custom-made, removable trays that gently shift your teeth into proper alignment. Each tray is worn for about 20–22 hours per day and swapped every few weeks. Treatment times and results vary from 6 months to 24+ months and are dependent upon each individual patient's orthodontic needs. Your dentist can give you an approximate treatment length duration estimate.

Caring for Clear Aligners at Home
Proper at-home care is key to maintaining oral health and achieving the best results with clear aligners. Always remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. Brush and floss your teeth thoroughly before putting the trays back in. Clean your aligners daily using a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water, avoiding hot water, which can warp the trays. Regular check-ins with your dentist help ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.
