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.
Mild-to-moderate crowding, gaps, and bite issues respond well to aligners; more complex bite corrections may still need traditional brackets and wires. Compliance matters here — aligners only work if they're worn roughly twenty-two hours a day, removed just for eating and brushing.
Attachments — small tooth-colored bumps bonded temporarily to certain teeth — give the aligner extra grip for more difficult movements like rotations. That planning happens upfront, so you know from day one which stages will include attachments.
Your treatment plan starts from a 3D digital scan rather than a physical mold that can shift or distort.
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.

There's usually some pressure with each new tray, but it tends to be less intense than traditional wire adjustments.
Around twenty-two hours daily is the standard recommendation, removing them only to eat and brush.
Existing dental work is usually accounted for during the digital scan and treatment planning.
Skipping ahead to the next tray or getting a replacement made are both options depending on your stage.
