How Clear Aligners Work

The process starts with a comprehensive consultation where we take digital scans of your teeth. These scans are used to create a series of custom aligners tailored to your specific needs. You'll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before moving on to the next set in the series. The aligners are designed to exert gentle pressure on your teeth, gradually moving them into their desired positions. The treatment plan is closely monitored by Dr. Melanie Wang to ensure optimal results. One of the best features of clear aligners is their removability, allowing you to eat, drink, and maintain oral hygiene with ease.
