Active Aligners
Active Aligners are a proven, low-fuss way to straighten teeth. A series of custom, near-invisible trays move your teeth gently into place over time. You can take them out to eat and to brush, so there are no broken wires and no flossing gymnastics, just a straighter smile, quietly.
What to expect
We assess whether aligners are right for your case, scan your teeth, and map the full movement plan so you can see roughly where you'll end up before you start. You'll change trays on a schedule and check in with us periodically so we can keep everything on track.
Is it right for you?
- Mild to moderate crowding or spacing
- Adults who don't want visible braces
- Patients who'll wear trays consistently (around 22 hours a day)
- Anyone wanting to straighten teeth before cosmetic work
The process
Assessment & scan
We confirm aligners suit your case and take a digital scan, no messy impressions.
Treatment plan
You see the planned movement and an estimated timeline before committing.
Aligner wear
You progress through a series of custom trays, changing them on schedule.
Check-ins & finish
Periodic reviews keep things on track; we refine and retain the final result.
Aftercare
Once your teeth are where we want them, a retainer keeps them there. Wearing it as advised is what protects your investment, teeth drift back without it. Keep up regular check-ups so we can monitor the result.
Frequently asked questions
Are aligners really invisible?
They're very discreet. Most people won't notice them, and you take them out to eat and clean your teeth.
How long does treatment take?
It varies with the case, often several months. We give you an estimated timeline at the planning stage.
Do they hurt?
You may feel mild pressure for a day or two with each new tray, that's the teeth moving, and it settles quickly.
Will I need a retainer?
Yes. A retainer holds the result. Without it, teeth gradually move back.
Do you accept medical aids?
Yes — we accept all medical aids. We'll explain any costs and what your plan covers before treatment begins, so there are no surprises.
