Clear Aligners
Nearly invisible custom trays that gradually straighten your teeth, removable for meals and brushing.
Clear aligners are nearly invisible, custom made trays that gradually move your teeth into place. Each set is slightly different from the last, so your teeth shift a little at a time. Because they're clear and removable, most people won't notice you're wearing them.
A digital scan of your mouth maps out how your smile will change over the course of treatment. You wear each set of aligners for one to two weeks before moving to the next one, gently shifting your teeth toward the final result. Dr. Mejia checks your progress at regular visits along the way.
Clear aligners straighten crowding, gaps, and mild to moderate alignment concerns without brackets and wires. You can take them out to eat, brush, and floss normally, so there are no food restrictions. A straighter smile is also easier to keep clean.
