Clear aligners are an alternative system to traditional braces that use a sequence of individual clear, removable trays to gradually straighten teeth. The alignment is accomplished with a series of trays each made of clear almost invisible plastic those completely cover the teeth; each tray is slightly different, and when worn for 23 hours a day for two weeks before going on to the next set in the series, will move the teeth into an improved position. The trays are computer-generated based on proper records and diagnosis of your specific situation. Results can vary widely depending on the skill and experience of the orthodontist or dentist, as well as the patient's compliance with continually wearing them. Total treatment time can range from six months to two years. When treatment is well-planned, clear aligners can successfully realign or straighten teeth, close mild spaces, treat elongated teeth and tip teeth into better position.
