Overview

A discreet clear-aligner plan for an adult who had wanted straighter teeth since childhood.

The concern

Crowding made cleaning difficult and the patient was self-conscious in photos, but felt too old for traditional braces and worried about how visible treatment would be at work.

The treatment plan

We mapped the full tooth movement digitally so the patient could see the end result before starting, then guided them through clear aligners with short check-ins every few weeks.

The result

Treatment finished on schedule with teeth that are easier to clean and a smile the patient is happy to show. A retainer keeps the result stable.

Every treatment starts with a conversation and an exam. Let's have one.
