What are Dental Aligners?

Dental aligners are clear, custom-made trays that help straighten your teeth. Unlike braces, they are made of clear plastic, so they are almost invisible. You wear each tray for 1-2 weeks, and they gently move your teeth into the right position. Aligners are removable, so you can take them out to eat, drink, and clean your teeth.

Benefits of Dental Aligners

Invisible Look
Aligners are clear, so they’re hard to see and won’t stand out.

Better Hygiene
Since aligners are removable, you can easily brush and floss your teeth.

Fewer Visits
With aligners, you only need check-ups every 2-3 months, unlike braces that need monthly visits.
