What Are Clear Aligners?

In this video, Dr. Matthew Keider explains how clear aligners work, using a series of clear, custom trays to gradually shift teeth into their desired position. Learn about the benefits of removable trays for improved oral hygiene and comfort. Schedule your free consultation today to find out if clear aligners are the right solution for you.

Clear aligners consist of a series of clear, custom-formed trays that fit snugly over your teeth, gradually shifting them into the desired position with each new set. These trays are designed to move teeth incrementally throughout the treatment process. Once placed in the mouth, they are virtually invisible, making them a discreet alternative to traditional braces.

One of the key advantages of clear aligners is that the trays are removable. This allows you to take them out when eating, ensuring that food does not get trapped as it might with traditional braces. It is recommended to remove the trays before eating and then clean your teeth thoroughly before reinserting them. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene throughout treatment.
