About Clear Aligners

Great For

  • Mild to moderate crowding or spacing

  • Relapse after braces

  • Minor bite refinements such as small overbite, crossbite, or open bite

  • Patients who value a discreet, removable option and can wear trays as directed

May Not Be Ideal For

  • Severe crowding or complex jaw discrepancies

  • Teeth that need significant rotation or vertical movement

  • Patients who cannot commit to wearing trays 20 to 22 hours per day
    In these cases, braces or a hybrid approach may be recommended.

What To Expect at Your Clear Aligners Appointment?

I

Consultation and Digital Records
We review your goals, scan your teeth, take photos, and evaluate your bite. If aligners suit your case, we create a digital treatment plan that shows your projected tooth movement.

II

Preview and Plan Approval
You will see a before and after style simulation. We confirm the number of trays, estimated timeline, and costs before we begin.

III

First Fit and Attachments
We deliver your first sets, place any needed attachments, and review how to insert and remove trays, clean them, and switch to the next set.

IV

Progress Checks
Short visits every 6 to 10 weeks keep you on track. Some cases use remote check ins with photos. If minor refinements are needed, we order additional trays.

V

Finish and Retainers
When alignment is complete, we remove attachments and provide retainers to hold results. Wearing retainers nightly protects your new smile long term.

More about Clean Aligners

How Clear Aligners Work

A series of custom trays apply gentle, targeted forces to move teeth in small steps. Each set is worn for about 1 to 2 weeks before moving to the next. Small, tooth coloured “attachments” may be placed on certain teeth to help the trays grip and move with precision.

Treatment Timeline

Most mild cases take 4 to 8 months. Moderate cases often take 9 to 18 months. Actual time depends on goals, biology, and tray wear compliance.

Clear Aligners vs Braces

  • Appearance: Clear and low profile vs brackets and wires

  • Hygiene: Trays are removable for easy brushing and flossing

  • Diet: No food restrictions with trays removed

  • Control: Braces can be better for certain complex movements
    We will advise which option best matches your goals.

Retainers and Long Term Results

Teeth can shift naturally over time. Nightly retainer wear is the simplest way to maintain your result. If a retainer is lost or damaged, contact us promptly for a replacement.
