All About Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are transparent, custom-fit trays made of BPA-free plastic designed to gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions.

These clear aligners can be easily removed for eating, cleaning, and special events, making them a discreet and versatile treatment option that seamlessly integrates with your lifestyle.

The Clear Choice for Care

Clear aligners offer numerous advantages over traditional braces, including:

Comfort & Precision

Our clear aligners are meticulously crafted to provide a snug fit in your mouth, ensuring quality and personalized orthodontic care.

Maximum Flexibility

Dr. Kwong's expertise allows for the use of clear aligners alone or in combination with braces, addressing various dental challenges effectively.

Confident Smiles

Caring for Your Clear Aligners

Proper care of your clear aligners ensures the success of your orthodontic treatment. Here are some essential tips:

Remove aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent damage and food particles from getting trapped.
Brush your teeth before placing aligners back in your mouth after meals.
Wear aligners for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene.
Rinse aligners with cool water and clean them gently using a soft toothbrush. Avoid hot water, as it can warp the plastic.
