What are clear aligners?

Clear aligners are a non-invasive form of orthodontic treatment used to improve patients’ smiles and straighten teeth. During treatment, patients wear clear aligner trays on one or both sets of teeth. The result is straighter teeth and an improved bite. Clear aligners are often combined with teeth whitening services.

Benefits of clear aligners

As a non-invasive orthodontic treatment, clear aligners offer several benefits.

More Comfortable

Unlike metal braces that need regular adjustments, clear aligners trays offer a comfortable experience because the trays are molded to your teeth and mouth shape and are removable. What’s more, clear aligners require no surgery or invasive treatments, meaning patients don’t have to worry about going under the knife.

Invisible Appearance

Clear aligner trays are clear in appearance, making them more difficult to spot than braces or traditional dentures. This means you don’t have to worry about hiding your teeth when outside the house. They are also removable.

Straighten and Strengthen

Clear aligner treatment leaves you not only with straightened teeth but also an improved bite. This means that you’ll be able to smile with confidence and tackle chewy food without issue.

Our Clear Aligner Treatment Process

Our clear aligner treatment follows a standardized process, often in combination with teeth whitening.

Consultation: We start with a consultation in which we discuss how the treatment works, your medical history and give you a chance to field any questions.
Treatment Plan: After our consultation, we then create a personalized treatment plan specific to you, your teeth, and your medical requirements.
Aligner Production: Next, we produce your clear aligners. This generally involves creating a 3D digital model of your teeth so the trays are designed to your exact specifications.
Wear Aligners: Once produced, you will need to wear your aligners as defined in your personalized treatment plan.
Adjust and Maintain: Finally, we will adjust your aligners and treatment plan as necessary, helping you to effectively maintain your at-home treatment.
