Orthodontics Dr. Lena Hart
Clear Aligners.
Removable, near-invisible aligners that move teeth quietly, at your own pace.
What it is
Straighter teeth, quietly.
Clear aligners are removable trays that move your teeth a little at a time. Most people won't notice you're wearing them.
They're often the first step in a smile design, getting teeth into the right place so the cosmetic work is simpler and lasts.
How it goes
Planned in full, before you begin.
01
Scan & plan
We take a 3D scan and map the full movement before you start.
02
Receive aligners
You get a series of custom trays, ready to wear.
03
Wear & switch
Wear them most of the day, switching to the next set every couple of weeks.
04
Refine & retain
We fine-tune the result and fit a retainer to hold it.
Good to know
Common questions.
How long does it take?
Most cases run six to eighteen months, depending on how much movement is needed.
Are they really invisible?
Nearly. The trays are clear and thin, and they come out for photos.
Can I eat with them in?
No, you remove them to eat and drink anything but water, then pop them back in.
Do I still need cosmetic work after?
Sometimes alignment is all you need. Often it sets up veneers or whitening to look their best.
