Each aligner is custom-made to fit over your teeth and is designed to gradually move teeth into their proper position. Using clear aligners for orthodontic treatment is not for everyone. The best way to find out if clear aligners are the right option for you is to schedule a consultation with your orthodontist
Clear aligners are custom-made, removable plastic trays that gradually move teeth into position without metal wires or brackets. They are worn at least 22 hours a day, with a new set every two to three weeks. They are not right for everyone, so Dr. Michael Noorani confirms fit at a consultation.
Clear aligners are used as an alternative to traditional braces, and are designed to help guide teeth into proper position. Just like braces, clear aligners use gradual pressure to control tooth movement, but without any metal wires or brackets. The aligners are made with a strong plastic material that has been fabricated to fit your mouth. As treatment progresses you switch aligners. Each aligner is a little different, so your teeth move a little more with every change.
Aligners are worn for at least 22 hours each day, with new aligners every two to three weeks. The length of your treatment depends on the severity of your case, and like braces treatment time varies
Clear aligners are a great alternative for patients who want a straighter smile but do not want to wear metal braces, or for patients who have had treatment in the past and want to make minor corrections to their smile. There are several advantages to orthodontic treatment with clear aligners.
Clear aligners are easier to keep clean, making it easier to maintain the health of your teeth and gums.
Clear aligners are comfortable and less likely to irritate your gums and cheeks.
Clear aligners prevent wear on the teeth from tooth grinding.
Clear aligners are removable, so it's easier for you to brush and floss after meals.
If you're interested in orthodontic treatment with clear aligners, schedule an appointment and talk to your orthodontist about whether this is the right treatment option for you. Scheduling a consultation is your first step toward achieving the beautiful smile you've always wanted.Book Appointment

Yes. Clear aligners are removable, so you take them out to eat, drink anything other than water, brush and floss. They only work when worn, usually 20 to 22 hours a day, so remember to put them back in after meals. Your orthodontist explains the exact wear schedule for your treatment.
Clear aligners are smooth plastic trays with no metal brackets or wires, so most patients find them comfortable. You may feel pressure for a day or two when you start a new set as your teeth shift. That pressure is normal and usually fades quickly. Call us if discomfort lasts longer.
Braces use brackets and wires fixed to your teeth, so they work around the clock and suit most bite problems. Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners that you take out to eat and brush. At your free consultation, Dr. Noorani explains which option fits your teeth, lifestyle and goals.
