Does the idea of orthodontic treatment make you feel uneasy? When you begin thinking about the decision to correct problems with the spacing of your teeth, wearing metal wires and brackets may sound quite unpleasant. Braces call attention to themselves with a conspicuous appearance and can be quite uncomfortable if they cut into the gums and tissues of your cheeks. While the look of straighter teeth sounds appealing to almost everyone, the process of treatment itself may prevent others from receiving valuable correction. Fortunately, orthodontic clear aligner therapy provides an alternative to bracket-and-wire metal braces to achieve the same goal of beautiful straight teeth!

Made from a BPA-free translucent material, each tray you wear improves your oral health without causing an unwanted distraction.
