What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are virtually invisible, removable orthodontic devices that gradually straighten your teeth without the need for metal brackets or wires. These custom-made, transparent plastic trays fit snugly over your teeth and apply gentle, consistent pressure to move them into their ideal positions.
Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners offer the freedom to eat your favorite foods, maintain excellent oral hygiene, and smile confidently throughout your treatment journey.

The Life-Changing Benefits
1. Virtually Invisible Treatment
Clear aligners are so transparent that most people won’t even notice you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment. This makes them perfect for professionals, students, and anyone who wants to maintain their natural appearance while achieving a straighter smile.
2. Ultimate Convenience and Flexibility
Unlike traditional braces, these aligners are removable. This means you can:
- Enjoy all your favorite foods without restrictions
- Brush and floss normally for optimal oral health
- Remove them for special occasions or important meetings
- Play sports and musical instruments without interference
3. Comfortable and Gentle
Clear aligners are made from smooth, comfortable plastic that won’t irritate your cheeks or gums like traditional metal braces can. The gradual movement process is gentler on your teeth and typically causes less discomfort.
4. Predictable Results
With Dr. Babaeian’s advanced digital technology, you can see your projected results before treatment even begins. This predictability helps ensure you’ll love your final smile.
