WHY ALIGNERS?
Clear aligners are a series of thin, transparent trays that gradually move your teeth into position. They are removable, comfortable and hard to notice, so you can straighten your teeth without visible wires or brackets.
THE PROCESS
Aligner treatment is planned digitally, so you can see the expected result before you begin.
We examine your teeth and take a digital scan or impressions.
You see a preview of how your teeth are planned to move, and we agree the plan together.
You wear each set for the recommended time each day, changing to the next set every one to two weeks.
We review your progress regularly, and finish with retainers to keep your new smile.
THE BENEFITS

Take them out to eat, brush and floss as usual.
