How do clear aligners work?

Clear aligners such as Invisalign, Angel Align, or Spark are custom-made plastic trays designed to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. You’ll receive a series of aligners, each slightly different, and switch to a new set every 1–2 weeks. These aligners apply gentle, controlled pressure to shift your teeth over time.

It’s important to note that not all aligner systems are the same. While there are many online clear aligner companies, some do not involve qualified clinicians in planning or monitoring the treatment. For clear aligners to be effective, they require a proper treatment plan, consistent wear, and regular check-ins with your dentist.

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks, and we recommend seeking a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner before proceeding.
