Clear Aligners
Dentist-supervised clear aligner treatment with attention to bite, periodontal health, aesthetics, and restorative goals.
Clear aligners move teeth through a planned series of trays.
Aligner treatment can address selected crowding, spacing, tooth position and bite concerns. Successful treatment depends on diagnosis, compliance and biological response.
- Digital scans
- Bite and periodontal evaluation
- Attachment planning
- Progress checks
- Retention planning
Orthodontics can make restorative dentistry more conservative.
Moving teeth into better positions can sometimes reduce the amount of restorative alteration needed for a smile makeover or implant space.
Not every orthodontic problem is best treated with aligners alone.
Complex skeletal problems, significant movement requirements, periodontal limitations or difficult biomechanics may require other approaches or specialist collaboration.
What patients ask about clear aligners
How long do clear aligners take?
Treatment duration depends on the movements required, complexity, wear compliance and biological response.
Do clear aligners affect my bite?
Aligners intentionally change tooth position and can change bite relationships; this is why treatment should be diagnosed, monitored and finished carefully.
Do I need retainers after aligners?
Retention is generally required after orthodontic treatment to reduce relapse.
