Clear aligners move teeth through a series of custom trays, each one nudging your bite slightly closer to its final position than the last. An intraoral scanner captures your bite digitally and produces a stage-by-stage simulation of where your smile is headed.
Aligners handle a wide range of cases these days, though a provider will say upfront if brackets are the better fit for yours. They only work if worn roughly twenty-two hours a day, out just for eating and brushing — the trays don't do the work by sitting in a drawer.
Attachments — small tooth-colored bumps bonded temporarily to certain teeth — give the aligner extra grip for harder movements like rotations. That planning happens upfront, so you know from day one which stages include attachments.
Your treatment plan starts from a 3D digital scan instead of a physical mold that can shift.
A stage-by-stage animation shows the expected movement before you agree to start.
Mid-course corrections are common, and most plans include refinement trays rather than billing them separately.
Flexibility comes with responsibility — consistent wear is what keeps the timeline on track.
Whatever the specifics of your case, the specialist we route you to has handled it before.
Your provider walks through the simulated movement stage by stage during the consult.
Aligners gradually shift crowded teeth into alignment across a series of custom trays.
Front-tooth gaps typically close over a series of tray changes spaced roughly two weeks apart.
Mild bite discrepancies can often be corrected with aligners paired with small attachments for grip.
Small tooth-colored attachments give the aligner extra leverage on harder-to-move teeth.
A custom retainer holds your new alignment in place once the active tray series finishes.
A coordinator answers and asks a few quick questions about your specific case and how urgent it is.
We match you with a nearby specialist experienced in this exact procedure and check real-time openings.
The specialist examines your case, often with same-visit imaging, and gives you a cost estimate before starting anything.
You leave with the issue addressed and next steps already scheduled if needed.
"Explained every step and the cost before doing anything. First visit that didn't feel rushed."
"Didn't have to wait weeks like my old dentist. Got routed straight to a specialist who knew what to do."
"Was honest that the closest office was full and got me into a nearby one instead of leaving me stuck."
Mild cases can wrap up in as little as six months; more involved crowding can take a year or more.
Some pressure is normal with each new tray, but it tends to be less intense than wire adjustments.
Consistent wear in that twenty-to-twenty-two-hour range is what keeps treatment on schedule.
Existing dental work is factored into the digital scan and treatment plan.
Contact the office right away; a replacement or the next tray in the series can often be issued quickly.
