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.
Aligners handle a wide range of cases now, though a provider will tell you upfront if your case is better suited to fixed braces instead. 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.
A stage-by-stage simulation shows how your teeth are expected to move before any trays are ordered.
If teeth need extra adjustment partway through, refinement trays are built into most treatment plans.
Unlike brackets, aligners come out for meals and photos, provided you stay disciplined about wear time.
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.
Crowded front teeth are among the most common cases aligners successfully correct.
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 attachments for extra grip.
Minimal enamel reshaping between teeth sometimes creates space needed for proper alignment.
Retainers are fitted immediately after your final tray to prevent teeth from drifting back.
A coordinator answers and asks a few quick questions about your specific case and how soon you need care.

Mild cases can finish in as little as six months; more involved crowding can take a year or more.
There's usually some pressure with each new tray, but it tends to be less intense than traditional wire adjustments.
Consistent wear — roughly twenty to twenty-two hours — is what keeps treatment on schedule.
Crowns and fillings don't automatically disqualify you; your provider factors them into the simulation.
Contact the office right away — a replacement or the next tray in the series can often be issued quickly.
Pricing depends on how many trays your case requires, and that's laid out before you commit to treatment.
