Clear aligners lifestyle

What are Active Aligners?

Think clear braces.

Active Aligners are clear, removable trays worn in stages to gently move your teeth into place. They correct crowding, gaps and rotated teeth, discreetly, with no metal wires or brackets and no eating restrictions. Also known as invisible braces, clear braces or see-through braces.

Why Active Aligners

A clearer, more comfortable way to straighten your smile.

Accuracy

Each set is made from a precise 3D scan of your teeth, so every aligner moves your smile exactly as planned, virtually invisible and comfortable to wear.

Treatment planning

Your provider maps your full journey digitally before you start, so you can see where your smile is headed, stage by stage, in an average of six months.

Dental-professional support

Treatment is always supervised by a qualified dental professional near you, not posted to your door, so your smile is in expert hands the whole way.

Your treatment plan

See your new smile before you begin

See your expected smile before treatment begins with a digital plan reviewed and approved by your dentist.

Your dentist leads your treatment from the start. Using a 3D scan, they work with our treatment-planning team to create a digital plan showing how your teeth are expected to move, stage by stage. Your dentist reviews and approves the plan before your custom aligners are made, so you can see the expected result before treatment begins.

How it works

Your new smile in 3 simple steps.

1

Make a lasting impression

Visit an Active Aligners provider for a 3D scan or impression of your teeth and a plan for your smile.

2

Start your smile journey

Once your provider approves the plan, your custom aligners are ready to collect in about two weeks. Wear each set 20 to 22 hours a day.

3
