Removable Clear Aligners in Keeres Green

A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Among Keeres Green patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. 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.
