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.
Aligners handle a wide range of cases now, though a provider will tell you upfront if your case is better suited to fixed braces instead. Compliance matters here — aligners only work if they're worn roughly twenty-two hours a day, removed just for eating and brushing.
For teeth that need more than simple tipping, small bonded attachments act as anchor points the aligner can push against. 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.
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.
Your provider walks you through the simulated tooth movement stage by stage during the consult.
