A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. In Chasty, they appeal most to professionals and adults who prefer a treatment few people will notice. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. They suit mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite issues particularly well.
