Clear Aligners
Clear removable trays that move teeth a fraction at a time. You see the projected finish before you start.
We scan, plan the whole sequence digitally, and show you the projected result before you commit. Check-ins are short and most of them are every six to eight weeks.
The retainer at the end is not optional. Teeth move back, and the people who lose their result are the people who stopped wearing it.

Questions
How much do I have to wear them?+
Twenty-two hours a day. Out for meals and brushing, in the rest of the time, including overnight.
Will people notice?+
Rarely in normal conversation. Small tooth-colored attachments are sometimes needed for grip, and those are the visible part, not the tray.
Safety & what to expect
Aligners only work while they are in. Twenty-two hours a day is the requirement, not a suggestion, and a case that is not worn on schedule stops tracking and takes longer.
