Patient guide
Clear aligners move the teeth step by step with a series of transparent, removable trays instead of fixed braces — for mild to moderate crowding or spacing, or relapse after earlier braces. The movement is planned digitally, and treatment usually takes between 6 months and 2 years. This guide explains each step and how to look after your aligners.
