Clear Aligners

Clear aligners, also known as clear-aligner treatment, are orthodontic devices that are a transparent, plastic form of dental bracesused to adjust teeth. Clear-aligner treatment involves an orthodontist or dentist, or with home-based systems, the person themselves, taking a mold of the patient's teeth, which is used to create a digital tooth scan. The computerized model suggests stages between the current and desired teeth positions, and aligners are created for each stage. Each aligner is worn for 20 hours a day for two weeks.
