Straighten your teeth without metal brackets or wires. Clear aligners use a series of clear, removable trays that gradually move your teeth into place.

A straighter smile, quietly

Orthodontics that fits your life

Each set of aligners is custom-made for your teeth and worn for about one to two weeks before moving on to the next. Most people around you won’t even notice you’re wearing them.

Because the aligners come out, you can eat what you like and brush and floss normally. Clear aligners can address crowding, gaps and many bite concerns for teens and adults.

Common questions

Clear Aligners FAQ

How long does treatment take?

It depends on your smile. Some cases finish in several months, while others take a year or more. We will give you an estimate at your consultation.

How many hours a day do I wear them?

For the best results, aligners should be worn about 20 to 22 hours a day, taken out only to eat, drink anything other than water, and clean your teeth.

Do clear aligners hurt?

You may feel some pressure for a day or two when you switch to a new set. That’s a sign the aligners are working, and it fades quickly.
