Clear Aligner

Clear aligners are removable trays designed to guide selected tooth movements. They can suit people who prefer a discreet appliance, but the treatment is not appropriate for every bite, spacing pattern or level of crowding. The dentist confirms suitability after examination and digital records.

Who may benefit

The dentist considers tooth position, the bite, gum health, existing fillings and your ability to wear and care for the trays. Some movements need fixed braces or another approach. A digital preview can help explain the proposed direction, but it does not replace a clinical decision.

Scans and treatment planning

The planning stage may include photographs, a digital scan and X-rays when clinically indicated. The dentist uses the records to discuss the number of stages, review schedule, limitations and retention. Previous orthodontic records are helpful for returning patients.

Trays and visits

A series of trays is prepared from the approved plan. You change trays and attend progress checks as instructed. The number of trays and visits varies with the case and response. Refinements may be discussed when the teeth do not track as planned.

Daily care and retention

Remove the trays for meals and clean them as directed before wearing them again. Keep the trays in their case when not in use. Retainers are usually part of the long-term plan because teeth can move after active treatment.
