Clear Aligner treatment for Open Bite Teeth

Clear aligners are a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that utilizes a series of custom-made, transparent trays to gradually move teeth into their desired positions. Unlike traditional metal braces, clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to achieve a straighter smile without compromising your appearance or lifestyle.

Clear aligners work by applying gentle, continuous pressure to your teeth, causing them to shift gradually into their correct alignment. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks before being replaced with the next set in the series. This gradual progression ensures that your teeth move in a controlled and comfortable manner.
