How Long Will I Need to Wear Clear Aligners?

Watch this video to learn more about how long you can expect to wear clear braces to successfully align your smile.

One of the big turnoffs about traditional brace with all those wires is you can’t take them off. With clear liners, you can take them on and off, certainly to eat. You may want to get some pictures taken. Or maybe you have a public engagement and just want to free your tongue up so you can speak fluently. That is great with these braces, you cannot do that, of course, if your mouth is all wired up. If you need the convenience of this, please give us a call.
