aligner
Makes things straight
An aligner is something that brings things into proper position or arrangement.
In orthodontics, aligners are clear plastic trays worn over teeth to gradually straighten them: She switched from traditional braces to clear aligners.
The term also applies to tools or software that align components, text, or data sequences.
