Clear aligners move teeth through a series of custom trays, each one nudging your bite slightly closer to its final position than the last. A digital scan replaces the old impression goop, mapping your teeth in minutes and generating a preview of the full treatment before you agree to anything.
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. That planning happens upfront, so you know from day one which stages include attachments.
Your treatment plan starts from a 3D digital scan instead of a physical mold that can shift.
A stage-by-stage animation shows the expected movement before you agree to start.
Mid-course corrections are common, and most plans include refinement trays rather than billing them separately.
Flexibility comes with responsibility — consistent wear is what keeps the timeline on track.
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.
A custom retainer holds your new alignment in place once the active tray series finishes.
You describe what's going on in a minute or two; no automated menu to fight through first.
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 imaging, and gives you a cost estimate before starting anything.
Treatment proceeds on the agreed plan, with aftercare instructions and a follow-up if the case calls for one.
"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."
"Was honest that the closest office was full and got me into a nearby one instead of leaving me stuck."
Most cases run six to eighteen months depending on how much correction is needed.
Aligners generally cause milder, shorter pressure discomfort than the tightening soreness of braces.
Consistent wear in that twenty-to-twenty-two-hour range is what keeps treatment on schedule.
Crowns and fillings don't automatically rule you out; the simulation accounts for them.
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.
