How do invisible braces work?
Invisible clear aligner braces straighten your teeth with multiple stages of custom-fit clear aligners that come in an organized series. As each aligner gets custom fit for the new stage, it is comfortably adjusted to help guide your teeth to align properly.
Benefits of Clear Aligner Teeth Braces
Your newly aligned teeth will provide you easier chewing which leads to better digestion, and imroved oral health as it’s easier to take care of aligned teeth. It’s a discreet treatment since clear aligners are virtually invisible.
Mail Order Braces Potential Issues vs. Dentist Guided
The potential issues of mail order braces like Smile Direct Club or Candid vary all over along with their results of success. Since there is no dentist or orthodontist inspecting your alignment and progress for each phase, there are many variables that cause the mail order braces to fail.
Some of the issues that happen with mail order braces are:
- Receding gums, exposing lower sensitive areas of teeth
- Incorrect alignments
- Varying results
- Corrections don’t settle properly
This is why we highly recommend that you get your clear aligner braces, Invisalign or any orthodontics done under supervision of a trained dental professional.
Did you know:
An interesting fact about clear aligner braces is that they were originally invented by an adult orthodontic patient who was looking for a more convenient and discreet alternative to traditional braces.
In the late 1990s, Zia Chishti, was dissatisfied with the orthodontic treatment options available to him as an adult. After graduating from Stanford University, he wanted a solution that would straighten his teeth effectively without the noticeable appearance of metal braces. Inspired by the concept of using sequential plastic aligners, Chishti and his business partner Kelsey Wirth founded Align Technology.

How do clear aligner braces work?
Clear aligner braces work by using a series of custom-made, transparent plastic aligners to gradually and gently move your teeth into their desired positions. Each aligner is worn for a specific period before moving on to the next one, bringing you closer to your dream smile.

Can I remove the aligners when eating or for special occasions?
Yes! One of the fantastic benefits of clear aligners is that they are removable. You can take them out when eating, brushing, or for those special moments. Just remember to wear them for the recommended hours daily to achieve the best results.

Clear aligner braces can effectively address a wide range of common teeth alignment issues, such as crowding, spacing, misalignment, and gaps. However, for more complex cases, our orthodontic experts will evaluate your needs and suggest the best treatment approach.
