aligners
Invisible braces alternative
Aligners are clear plastic dental trays worn to gradually straighten teeth—an alternative to traditional metal braces.
Each set in a series applies gentle pressure to shift teeth incrementally: She switches to a new set of aligners every two weeks.
The singular aligner may refer to one tray or to a person or tool that brings things into alignment.
