Understanding Clear Aligner
These innovative transparent trays work by applying gentle, controlled pressure to gradually reposition your teeth. Each custom-fabricated aligner represents a small step in your smile transformation journey. Unlike conventional braces with their metal components, these smooth plastic trays eliminate the discomfort and aesthetic concerns of traditional orthodontics.
