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 is described as a nearly invisible aligner-based orthodontic approach using staged, custom-made removable aligners.
Treatment planning is based on mapped tooth movement, with aligners changed on a regular schedule as prescribed.
