Using a series of custom removable aligners, clear aligner therapy straightens your teeth gradually and comfortably. You’ll switch to a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, and your teeth will shift little by little until they reach the final position prescribed by your orthodontist or dentist. Because the aligners are removable, you can eat, drink, brush, and floss without any changes to your normal routine.

Less treatment time.

A typical clear aligner treatment takes about a year from start to finish. You’ll visit your doctor every month or two to monitor your progress, and every few visits you’ll receive your next set of aligners. Most patients wear between 18 and 30 sets of aligners during treatment, though timelines and totals vary depending on each individual case.

Clear aligners are virtually undetectable, so nothing draws attention to your mouth while you’re in treatment. Most people won’t notice you’re wearing them at all. And because they’re removable, eating, drinking, and maintaining your oral hygiene stays as simple as always.

Is Clear Aligner Treatment Right for Me?

Clear aligners can treat the vast majority of common orthodontic concerns in both adults and teens. Whether you need minor cosmetic improvements or more significant corrections, clear aligners can help. They’re effective for crowded or widely spaced teeth, as well as more complex issues like overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Your orthodontist or dentist can incorporate clear aligners into virtually any treatment plan.
