A modern, comfortable alternative to traditional braces. Straighten your teeth with virtually invisible, removable aligners — designed using advanced digital scanning technology.
Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, transparent trays that gradually move your teeth into a straighter position. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks before progressing to the next in the series, gently guiding your teeth toward the planned result.
Unlike traditional metal braces, clear aligners are removable — meaning you can take them out to eat, brush, and floss normally. They're made from smooth, medical-grade plastic that fits snugly over your teeth, making them far more comfortable than brackets and wires.
At Kippax Dental, Dr George Liao uses advanced 3D intraoral scanning to create a precise digital model of your teeth. This eliminates the need for uncomfortable putty impressions and allows you to preview how your teeth may look after treatment — all before you begin.
