A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Among Aghanloo patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.
How Do Aligners Compare to Braces?
Both can produce excellent results when matched to the case. Aligners suit disciplined patients who value discretion; braces suit those who'd rather the appliance do the work automatically.
For complex movements — large rotations, significant overbite correction, extraction cases — fixed braces tend to be more predictable. For mild-to-moderate cases, well-fitted aligners deliver comparable results with more comfort.
Aligners in Aghanloo — Local Context
Whether aligners or fixed braces are recommended usually comes down to case complexity rather than personal preference alone.

How Clear Aligners Work
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Aghanloo model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.
Aligners are worn 20–22 hours a day, out only for eating, drinking anything but water, and brushing. Compliance is everything — falling short slows treatment and can stop the trays fitting.
Review appointments in Aghanloo are typically every 7–10 weeks. At each visit the clinician checks progress and hands over the next trays; some practices add app-based remote monitoring to cut in-person visits.

This stage decides whether aligners are appropriate and how complex the case is.
