Clear Aligners
Want straighter teeth without traditional braces? First check whether clear aligners can make the movements your teeth and bite need.
What Can Clear Aligners Help You Address?
You prefer a removable option
If visible braces do not fit your routine, ask whether aligners can address the movements your teeth need.
Teeth have shifted again
Small changes after previous orthodontics may be worth reviewing before they become harder to manage.
You can commit to daily wear
Aligners require consistent use and follow-up. Discuss your schedule and whether another approach would suit you better.

Common Questions
Can I take aligners out to eat?
Aligners are removable, but their use needs to follow your treatment instructions. Dr. Hsieh will explain the daily routine and required wear.
Can aligners treat my bite as well as my front teeth?
Some cases involve bite changes as well as alignment. The examination determines whether aligners can achieve the movements your case needs.
How long does treatment take?
