Invisalign and clear aligners near Elk Grove Village, IL

How clear aligners work

Each aligner is shaped slightly differently from your current tooth position, so wearing them in sequence moves teeth a small amount at a time. They are removable for eating and brushing, and are usually worn for most of the day and night to keep treatment on schedule.

What aligners treat well — and what they do not

Crowding, spacing, mild to moderate bite issues and relapse after old orthodontic work are common aligner cases. Complex bite corrections and some rotations may be better handled another way. An assessment tells you which group you are in before you commit.

Aligners compared with fixed braces

Aligners are less visible and come out for meals, which many adults prefer. Fixed braces do not depend on you remembering to wear them and can handle a wider range of movements. Neither is automatically better; the right choice depends on your teeth and your habits.
