A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. In Kirby Row, 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. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.
