Aligner-based orthodontics use a sequence of virtually invisible trays to move teeth gently and precisely.
Each aligner is digitally designed to move your teeth in small increments. Aligners are worn for 1–2 weeks each, and total treatment time ranges from 3 months to 2 years, depending on the complexity of movement.
Small clear “attachments” are sometimes placed on the teeth to help guide movements — these are smooth, discreet, and removed at the end of treatment without leaving marks.
Tooth movement is achieved by creating very small amounts of space between teeth (0.1 – 0.5 mm) using a process called interproximal reduction. This is painless, safe, and carefully measured.
We currently provide three exceptional aligner systems:

Frequently asked questions
What are clear aligners, and how do they work?
Clear aligners are a type of orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, transparent trays to gradually straighten teeth without the need for traditional braces. Each set of aligners applies gentle pressure to shift teeth into their desired position, and they are typically worn for 20-22 hours per day, with each set being worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next set.
Are clear aligners comfortable to wear?
Yes, clear aligners are designed to be comfortable to wear and are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic material that is custom-fitted to your teeth. While some patients may experience temporary discomfort or pressure when switching to a new set of aligners, this is typically mild and subsides within a few days as the teeth adjust to the new aligners.
