Using a series of clear aligner trays, clear aligners are designed to straighten the teeth gradually over the course of several months. Crafted from clear plastic, the trays are barely noticeable. They provide a good alternative to metal braces, particularly because they are gentler on soft tissues and custom-fitted to the patient’s mouth. One of the best things about clear aligners are that the aligners are removable, which means you can still enjoy all your favorite foods without having to worry about the messy cleanup associated with braces.

How to Know If you Are a Good Candidate for Clear Aligners?

Although Drs. Tatyana Nudel & Michelle Nudel must make a full assessment of your teeth to determine whether or not you are a good candidate, there are several conditions that typically qualify a patient for this type of treatment. They include:

  • Crossbite
  • Overbite
  • Underbite
  • Crowded teeth
  • Gapped teeth
  • Misaligned teeth
