Clear aligners work by applying calibrated, incremental pressure through a series of custom trays, each one shifting your teeth slightly closer to their final position. Instead of physical molds, an intraoral scanner captures your bite digitally and produces a preview of how your smile will move, stage by stage.
Mild-to-moderate crowding, gaps, and bite issues respond well to aligners; more complex bite corrections may still need traditional brackets and wires. Compliance matters here — aligners only work if they're worn roughly twenty-two hours a day, removed just for eating and brushing.
Attachments — small tooth-colored bumps bonded temporarily to certain teeth — give the aligner extra grip for more difficult movements like rotations. Your provider maps out exactly which teeth need attachments during the digital treatment planning stage, before the first tray is ordered.
Intraoral scanners replace old-style impression trays for a faster, more accurate starting scan.
You see a digital preview of your projected final smile before agreeing to start treatment.
If teeth need extra adjustment partway through, refinement trays are built into most treatment plans.
Unlike brackets, aligners come out for meals and photos, provided you stay disciplined about wear time.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist you reach through us has handled it before.
A 3D scan generates a preview of your projected results before any trays are ordered.
