Teeth Straightening

Appearance

- Made from a thin, clear, flexible plastic, aligners are similar to mouth guards and retainers.

How they work

- A series of custom-made aligners are worn over the teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position. Aligners are worn for 20–22 hours a day, but can be removed for eating, drinking, and brushing.

Benefits

- Aligners are a good option for people who want to straighten their teeth but can't wear traditional braces due to their work or lifestyle. They can be used to treat a variety of issues, including crooked, overcrowded, or gapped teeth, and bite problems like overbites, underbites, or crossbites.

Invisalign is the most well known brand. Here at Finney Lane we used Reveal (Smilers) Clear Aligners.
