Clear Aligners in Corbin, KY

Clear aligners use a custom-made series of removable trays to move teeth into alignment gradually. Each aligner is worn for approximately one to two weeks, gently shifting teeth according to a precisely mapped treatment plan. Aligners must be worn 20–22 hours daily for optimal results and are only removed for eating, drinking and oral hygiene. It is ideal for patients seeking a discreet, effective solution to orthodontic concerns without the appearance or restrictions of metal braces.
