What are aligners?

Aligners are transparent dental splints used to correct malpositioned teeth and bites. They do not cause allergies and do not damage the oral mucosa.

Aligners are comfortable to wear, they can always be removed before eating and put back in again afterwards. At that moment the aligner is stored in a box. Thanks to the aligners, your fellow people will not notice that you are undergoing orthodontic treatment.
