What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a series of custom, see-through trays that gently shift teeth into place. You wear each set for about two weeks, then move to the next.
Because they're removable and nearly invisible, many teens and adults prefer them to traditional braces, especially when a discreet look matters.

Consistency is the secret
Why Choose Aligners?
Beyond the nearly invisible look, aligners let you eat whatever you like and keep brushing and flossing exactly as you always have, which makes healthy teeth and gums easier during treatment. Smooth plastic also means no brackets or wires to irritate cheeks or manage after adjustments.
Who They're For, and When Braces Fit Better
Aligners work well for many common issues like crowding, spacing, and mild to moderate bite problems, and they're a great fit for motivated teens and adults who will wear them consistently. For younger children or more complex corrections, braces may be the more dependable path. Dr. Chu will evaluate your smile and tell you honestly which option gets the best result.
A straighter smile that fits quietly into your life, and an honest recommendation about whether it's right for yours.

Common Questions About Clear Aligners

For best results, aligners are typically worn around 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink anything but water, and clean your teeth.
Are clear aligners good for kids?
They work best for motivated teens and adults who will wear them consistently. For younger children, we'll recommend the most effective option.
Can I still eat my favorite foods?
Yes. Because aligners are removable, there are no food restrictions. Just take them out to eat and brush before putting them back in.
