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.
A stage-by-stage simulation shows how your teeth are expected to move before any trays are ordered.
If teeth need extra adjustment partway through, refinement trays are built into most treatment plans.
Take them out to eat, brush, and for special occasions, then back in for the full wear schedule.
Our network specialists cover the full range of this procedure, from the routine case to the complicated one.
A 3D scan generates a preview of your projected results before any trays are ordered.
Aligners gradually shift crowded teeth into alignment over a series of custom trays.
Spacing between teeth is closed gradually through calibrated pressure across successive trays.
Certain overbite and underbite cases respond to aligner treatment when caught before they're severe.
Small tooth-colored attachments give aligners extra leverage on harder-to-move teeth.
A custom retainer holds your new alignment in place once the active tray series is complete.
A coordinator answers and asks a few quick questions about your specific case and how soon you need care.
We match you with a nearby specialist experienced in this exact procedure and check real-time openings.
The specialist examines your case, often with same-visit X-rays, and gives you a cost estimate before starting anything.
You leave with the issue addressed and a plan for any next steps already scheduled.
"They walked me through the cost and the procedure before I agreed to anything. Appreciated that."
"Got in faster than I expected for something this specific. Staff were sharp and direct."
"Price they quoted on the phone matched the invoice exactly. No surprise charges."
Most cases run between six and eighteen months depending on how much correction is needed.
There's usually some pressure with each new tray, but it tends to be less intense than traditional wire adjustments.
Around twenty-two hours daily is the standard recommendation, removing them only to eat and brush.
Crowns and fillings don't automatically disqualify you; your provider factors them into the simulation.
Skipping ahead to the next tray or getting a replacement made are both options depending on your stage.
Cost is often comparable to braces and varies by case complexity; a written estimate is given at consultation.
