What are clear aligners and how do they work?

Clear aligners are nearly transparent, custom-made "trays" that tightly fit a patient's teeth. Made from a plastic-like material, aligners are made to fit a patient's teeth at different stages of his or her treatment. Each set of aligners is worn for one-three weeks, at least 22 hours a day, before moving on to the next set. Each aligner set is engineered to move the teeth incrementally until the desired alignment is reached. Tooth-coloured attachments on the teeth will help aligners move teeth properly. 

Aligners can treat most mild and moderate cases of overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite, crowding and spacing. An orthodontic consultation can provide an accurate diagnosis and best treatment recommendations for you. 

With many options now available such as Invisalign, Spark or ClearCorrect, clear aligners is a great treatment choice for both kids, teens or active adults who want effective treatment that is nearly invisible for others to see.
