What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are orthodontic devices that align and straighten the teeth, enhance a patient’s bite, and improve overall dental health. In this way, clear aligners are very similar to orthodontic braces. However, clear aligners differ from traditional braces because they do not require the attachment of metal appliances to the teeth. Instead, clear aligners are made of clear, flexible plastic and can be removed from the teeth as needed. They provide a distinctly different treatment experience compared to traditional braces.

How Do Clear Aligners Work?
Clear aligners work by applying gentle pressure to the teeth. Over time, this pressure causes the teeth to shift into the correct positions. Prior to treatment, a series of clear aligners will be custom-made for the patient. Each aligner will be shaped differently to continue shifting the teeth as treatment progresses. Every few weeks, the aligner will be swapped out for the next aligner in the series, moving teeth into the optimal position over the course of treatment. These aligners may be combined with elastics or discreet attachments to the teeth to optimize the alignment of the teeth and jaw.
