Clear aligners are thin plastic devices that look very much like retainers. They are designed to slowly put controlled pressure on the teeth to shift them into a more desirable position. In most cases, patients will need multiple aligners throughout their treatment to create incremental shifts. Your aligners will be custom made to fit your arches exactly, with slight modifications made to move the teeth.
Over time, clear aligner therapy has been improving, allowing us to provide this as a treatment option in more severe cases of misalignment. However, each patient needs to be assessed on an individual basis to see if clear aligners will be the most effective treatment option.
