Understanding Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of transparent, plastic trays designed to fit snugly over your teeth. These trays apply gentle pressure to gradually move your teeth into their desired positions. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are removable, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain your regular oral hygiene routine without hassle. Their discreet appearance ensures that your orthodontic treatment remains virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for both teens and adults seeking a subtle yet effective solution.
