Clear Aligners

The trend in clinical field has shown a palpable shift from conventional braces to innovative technologies like clear aligners.Clear aligners use computerized 3D technology to visualize and move the teeth in a virtual model. This technology along with advances in 3D printing and manufacturing efficiencies allow aligners to be produced in a large number and in a timely fashion. Initial cases were mild crowding or spacing which progress to cases that need expansion and malocclusion correction.
