Clear aligners move teeth through a series of custom trays, each one nudging your bite slightly closer to its final position than the last. An intraoral scanner captures your bite digitally and produces a stage-by-stage simulation of where your smile is headed.
Mild-to-moderate crowding and spacing respond well to aligners; more complex bite corrections may still call for traditional brackets. Unlike fixed braces, results depend on actually wearing the trays as prescribed, not just owning a box of them.
Attachments — small tooth-colored bumps bonded temporarily to certain teeth — give the aligner extra grip for harder movements like rotations. Your provider maps out which teeth need attachments during digital treatment planning, before the first tray is ordered.
Intraoral scanners replace the old goopy impressions for a faster, more accurate starting point.
You see a simulation of your projected final smile before ordering a single tray.
If teeth need extra adjustment partway through, that's typically already accounted for in the plan.
Trays come out for meals and photos, but results depend on hitting the twenty-two-hour target.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist we route you to has handled it before.
Your provider walks through the simulated movement stage by stage during the consult.
Crowded front teeth are one of the most common cases aligners successfully resolve.
Front-tooth gaps typically close over a series of tray changes spaced roughly two weeks apart.
Certain overbite and underbite cases respond well to aligners when caught before they're severe.
Small tooth-colored attachments give the aligner extra leverage on harder-to-move teeth.
Fitted immediately after the final tray to prevent teeth from drifting back.

We match you with a nearby specialist experienced in this exact procedure and check real-time openings.
You get a clear explanation of the treatment plan and its cost before any work begins.
You leave with the issue addressed and next steps already scheduled if needed.
"Called and they were upfront that my usual office was booked, then found me somewhere open the same week."
"Price on the phone matched the invoice exactly. No surprise charges at all."
"No upsells, no pressure. Just the treatment I needed at the price I was told upfront."
Most cases run six to eighteen months depending on how much correction is needed.
Some pressure is normal with each new tray, but it tends to be less intense than wire adjustments.
Consistent wear in that twenty-to-twenty-two-hour range is what keeps treatment on schedule.
Existing dental work is factored into the digital scan and treatment plan.
Depending on your stage, moving to the next tray or getting a replacement made are both options.
Cost is often comparable to braces and depends on case complexity, with a written estimate given upfront.
