Clear Aligner Information
Ortho Clear Treatment Overview
For patients exploring alternatives to traditional braces, aligner-style treatment may provide a more discreet option in selected cases.
How Ortho Clear Treatment Works
Ortho Clear uses nearly invisible, custom removable aligners that guide tooth movement step by step.
Treatment planning is based on mapped tooth movement, with aligners changed on a regular schedule as prescribed.
