How aligner treatment works
We take a digital scan of your teeth, no gooey impressions, and plan your movement in software so you can preview the projected result before committing. You then wear each set of custom trays for about one to two weeks, around 22 hours a day, coming in every so often so we can check progress. Treatment commonly runs from a few months for minor corrections to around 18 months for more complex movement.
Are aligners right for you?
Aligners handle crowding, gaps and many bite issues well, but they are not the answer to everything. Some cases genuinely do better with other orthodontic options, and if that is you we will say so and explain why. Wearing discipline matters too. Trays only work while they are on your teeth.
What it costs
Cost depends on how far your teeth need to move. After your scan we give you a fixed written quote covering the full course, retainers included, with interest free payment plan options subject to provider approval. No surprises mid treatment.

Common questions
Expect pressure for a day or two with each new tray. Most people describe it as tightness rather than pain, and it fades as your teeth settle.
Some people lisp slightly for the first few days. It almost always disappears quickly as your tongue adjusts.
Retainers. Teeth drift for life, so a retainer worn as advised protects the result you invested in.
