clear aligners

Invisible teeth trays

Clear aligners are transparent plastic trays worn over teeth to gradually shift them into alignment—an alternative to traditional metal braces.

Each set is worn for a few weeks before switching to the next in a series, slowly moving teeth toward the desired position.

The brand Invisalign dominates the market, making it nearly synonymous with the product: She's getting Invisalign often means any clear aligner treatment.
