Aligners are a modern orthodontic treatment used to straighten teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. They are made of clear, removable plastic trays that are custom-designed to fit each patient’s teeth. Aligners work by gradually shifting teeth into proper alignment through a series of trays that are changed every few weeks. Because they are nearly invisible and can be removed while eating or brushing, aligners are a popular choice for both teenagers and adults. With consistent wear and proper care, aligners can effectively improve dental alignment, comfort, and confidence.
