Clear Aligners

Clear aligners 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 minor bite concerns.

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, as with every treatment and every patient. 

Caring for Clear Aligners at Home

Proper at-home care is key to maintaining oral health and achieving the best results. 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.
