Invisible aligners at NuLine Orthodontics: how clear trays move teeth

Invisible aligners work through a series of custom-made clear trays, each one shaped slightly differently from the last, and the video lays out the mechanics. You wear the tray you're on most of the day and night, then swap it for the next every couple of weeks. The pressure is gentle and aimed at specific teeth, nudging them closer to where they need to end up, and the next tray picks up from there.

Crowding, small gaps, and bite refinements are the corrections aligners handle best, which is to say mild to moderate cases. More involved movements can still call for traditional braces, and Dr. Najjar will give you an honest read at your consultation.

Because the trays lift out for eating and brushing, meals carry on as normal and your cleaning routine barely changes. No metal shows either, which is why clear aligners, better known as "invisible braces," suit adults who want to look professional right through treatment and teens who'd rather skip the upkeep of braces.

If braces were the reason you kept putting off straightening your teeth, that reason now has a workaround. Book a consultation at NuLine Orthodontics and find out whether invisible aligners are an option in your case.
