A Discreet Path to a Perfect Smile
Orthodontic Treatment with Clear Aligners
Orthodontic treatment with clear aligners, such as Invisalign, involves using a series of custom-made, transparent trays to gradually move teeth into their correct position. Unlike traditional metal braces, clear aligners are virtually invisible and removable, offering a more discreet and convenient option for straightening teeth.
A Discreet Path to a Perfect Smile

Your orthodontist checks if aligners are right for you.
- Custom Aligners
Scans or impressions of your teeth are used to make personalized aligners. Each set is worn for 1-2 weeks.

Wear the aligners for 20-22 hours daily, removing them only for meals and cleaning.
- Switch Aligners
Every few weeks, switch to a new set as your teeth gradually move. Regular check-ups ensure progress.
