Clear Aligner Therapy
"Invisible Braces"
What are invisible braces? The technical term for this is clear aligner therapy. Clear aligners are thin, clear plastic
trays that are custom-fabricated to fit over your upper and lower teeth.
A series of such trays are fabricated using a computer program. Patients then wear each set of trays for a few weeks
at a time. With each successive tray, small changes are made to the position of your teeth until the desired esthetics
and function are achieved.
