ALIGNERS

What Are Aligners?

Aligners are a modern, discreet alternative to traditional braces. Made from smooth, transparent plastic, these custom-designed trays gently guide your teeth into proper alignment. Each set of aligners is created using precise 3D digital scans, ensuring a comfortable fit and predictable results. Because they are removable, aligners make it easy to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout treatment. Patients simply wear each tray for 20–22 hours per day and switch to a new set every 1–2 weeks as their smile transforms. Clear aligners are an effective solution for correcting crowding, spacing, and bite issues—delivering a straighter, healthier smile with minimal disruption to daily life.
