A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. They are especially popular with adults and older teenagers in Freystrop who don't want visible metal.

How Aligner Treatment Works in Freystrop
It starts with a scan or impressions. The clinician designs every stage of movement in software — you can often preview a simulation of the finished result — then the whole tray series is made at once.
