What is Aligner Therapy?

Aligner therapy is a modern approach to orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually and gently move your teeth into the desired position. Each set of aligners is custom-made to fit your teeth and worn for about two weeks before moving to the next set.
