In plain language

What clear aligners are

Clear aligners are a series of near-invisible, removable trays that gradually move your teeth into place.

They're a discreet, comfortable alternative to braces for many cases, and you take them out to eat and brush.

Why straighter teeth are about more than looks

Crowded or misaligned teeth are harder to clean and can wear unevenly, as well as affecting confidence. Straightening can improve both how your smile looks and how healthy it is to maintain.

Discreet and removable

Eat and brush normally; few will notice.

Comfortable

No metal brackets or wires.

Honest about what to expect

What to expect

Each new aligner brings mild pressure for a day or two, that's the teeth moving, and it settles. Results depend on wearing them as directed. A retainer afterwards keeps your teeth in place; we'll be clear about that commitment.
