What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear Aligners are a popular and comfortable alternative to traditional braces for gently moving teeth into place and creating a beautiful smile. These discrete trays are worn for 20-22 hours a day, depending on the treatment plan, and can be easily removed for eating and drinking. They do not have any brackets or wires, reducing the risk of mouth or gum irritation. The blue indicator on the aligners helps ensure patients, including teens, wear them for the required amount of time each day.
