Overview
Clear aligners are a series of custom trays that move your teeth a small amount at a time. Each tray is made slightly different from the one before, so seating it puts steady pressure on specific teeth. Your body remodels the bone around the root to match, which is how the tooth travels. We provide clear aligner treatment here and do not place braces. If braces suit your case better, we will tell you and refer you.
What to Expect
Digital Scans
No messy impressions. We capture 3D images of your teeth and bite.
Custom Plan
We plan the movement digitally before anything is made, so you see the projected result first. Treat it as a plan rather than a photograph of your future.
Series of Trays
Wear each set 20 to 22 hours a day for one to two weeks. Teeth start drifting back within hours of the pressure coming off, so the hours matter more than the calendar.
Check-Ins
We check the trays are tracking to the plan and hand over the next sets, usually every four to six weeks.
Benefits

Common Questions About Clear Aligners
Why Choose Us
We plan aligner treatment with digital imaging and bite analysis, so the goal is a working bite and not only straight teeth. Aligner therapy is what we provide as general dentists, and we do not place braces. When a case needs braces, we say so and refer you, because a case pushed into the wrong appliance finishes worse.
