What are Clear Aligners?
Clear Aligner treatment is a virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth. We use advanced 3D computer-imaging technology to show you your complete treatment plan from the initial position of your teeth towards the final desired position. Then a series of clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth to move them little by little.
Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before being replaced by the next in the series, gradually moving towards the projected final position. The treatment time depends on your specific needs .
​
Apart from our own clear aligner system, our dentist is certified to provide Invisalign, Smilelign, Cthru Smiles, Fast Braces and Inman Aligner system.
