Treatments · Align
Your alignment. A plan made around your bite.
Clear aligners are removable trays that move teeth gradually. Suitability depends on your teeth, gums and bite.
Clear aligners
A dentist-planned approach to alignment using removable clear trays.
Who it may suit
Some people with crowded, spaced or misaligned teeth. A dentist must assess whether aligners suit your particular bite.
What the process involves
- 01
Examine your teeth and bite and discuss your goals.
- 02
Take the records needed to plan tooth movement.
- 03
Explain wearing instructions, check-ups and the proposed plan.
- 04
Discuss retainers and the care needed after active treatment.
Risks and limits
- Treatment depends on wearing the aligners as prescribed.
- Teeth can feel sore or tight; attachments or other adjustments may be needed.
- Teeth can move again, so retainers and follow-up are important.
Other options
Fixed braces or other appropriate options, including no treatment. Bonding and veneers change tooth appearance but do not move teeth.
Visits, inclusions and ongoing care
Your dentist will explain the visit schedule and recommended care after assessing your case. Ask your clinic for an itemised quotation, including any records, laboratory work, follow-up, refinements or retainers relevant to your plan.
Results vary. Every treatment starts with an examination.
