Clear aligners

Clear aligners are thin, clear plastic trays that move your teeth a little at a time. You wear them most of the day and take them out to eat.

From $3,900 without insurance · Example prices for this concept site.

Plain answers

The short version

  • What it is

    A series of custom trays made from a 3D scan of your teeth. You switch to a new set every one to two weeks, and each set moves your teeth slightly.

  • How long it takes

    Usually 6 to 18 months, depending on how much your teeth need to move. Check-ins every 6 to 10 weeks take about 15 minutes.

  • Does it hurt?

    Each new set feels snug for a day or two. That pressure means they're working. Most people don't find it painful.

  • What it costs

    From $3,900, or about $163 a month over 24 months with a payment plan. Some insurance plans cover part of it.
