What it is
Clear aligners move teeth with a series of thin, custom-made plastic trays, each worn for a week or two. They are almost invisible, come out for eating and brushing, and suit most crowding, spacing and bite problems in teens and adults.
What to expect
-
A free consultation with a digital scan, so you can see a simulation of your finished smile before committing.
-
A full set of aligners is made for your plan. You wear each for 20 to 22 hours a day and change them every one to two weeks.
-
Short check-ins every six to eight weeks to collect your next trays and make sure everything is tracking.
-
Treatment usually takes six to eighteen months. A retainer afterwards keeps the result.
Common questions
How much does it cost?
Simple cases from $3,200 and comprehensive treatment up to around $7,500. The consultation is free and the quote is fixed, with interest-free plans available.
Is it painful?
New trays feel tight for a day or two. It is pressure rather than pain and most people stop noticing by the third set.
Am I too old for this?
No. Around half of our aligner patients are over 35. Healthy teeth and gums are what matters, not age.
