Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces. In Carsick, they appeal most to professionals and adults who prefer a treatment few people will notice. You wear the set in order, each one nudging the teeth a fraction closer to the planned result. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.
