Clear aligners are dental trays that help you achieve a straighter smile by gradually shifting crooked teeth into alignment.

Unlike braces that use metal brackets and wires, aligners are clear plastic. They’re barely visible when worn, allowing you to straighten your teeth discretely.

While braces remain attached to your teeth during treatment, you can remove clear aligners when eating, flossing, or brushing your teeth.
