A series of custom, BPA-free plastic aligners are created specifically for your teeth. Each set is designed to move your teeth incrementally.

Transformation

You’ll wear each set of trays for about 1–2 weeks. As you progress through the series, you’ll watch your smile transform into its ideal position.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have a question?

Why would I need a crown instead of a filling?

Fillings repair small areas of decay. Crowns are recommended when the tooth is too damaged or weak for a filling to provide a long-term solution.

With proper care and regular checkups at our office, a high-quality crown can last between 10 and 15 years—or even longer.

Not at all. We ensure the area is fully numbed for the procedure. Most patients find the process no more uncomfortable than getting a standard filling.

Treat your crown just like a natural tooth! Brushing twice a day and flossing daily are essential. While the crown itself cannot decay, the tooth structure underneath still needs protection.

Not at all. We use advanced color-matching technology to ensure your crown matches the shade, shape, and translucency of your existing teeth.
