Clear Aligners (Invisalign)
Clear aligners are a modern solution for straightening teeth and fixing dental problems. They're transparent, removable, and comfortable to wear, making them a discreet and convenient choice for many people. These custom-made, clear plastic trays are great for achieving a straighter smile without the noticeable look of traditional braces. At The Arc Dental, we offer popular brands such as Invisalign and Angel Aligner.
How Invisalign Works?
Clear aligners, like Invisalign, work through a series of custom-made, tight-fitting plastic trays. These trays apply controlled and gentle pressure to specific areas of your teeth, nudging them gradually into their desired positions. You switch to a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, and with each new set, your teeth continue to move incrementally until they reach the intended alignment. This sequential process continues until your teeth are correctly positioned, resulting in a straighter and properly aligned smile.
