Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a series of custom made transparent trays. Each set moves your teeth a small step, and you switch to the next set as your orthodontist advises. They are nearly invisible and come out for eating and brushing.

06 Questions
Clear Aligners: your questions.
Are aligners better than braces?
Neither is better for everyone. Aligners are discreet and removable, while braces offer more control in complex cases. Our orthodontist will advise what suits your teeth.
What if I do not wear them enough?
Your teeth will not move as planned and treatment can take longer. Consistent wear is the key to a good result.
