A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Among Mundy Bois patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. A digital treatment plan maps every stage, and you step through the trays in sequence over the course. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.
How Aligner Treatment Works in Mundy Bois
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.
The trays must be in for 20–22 hours daily. Patients who hit that target finish on schedule; those who don't often need refinements to complete movements the main course missed.
Review appointments in Mundy Bois are typically every 8–12 weeks. Visits are less frequent than with fixed braces — the clinician confirms progress, issues trays, and adjusts the plan if the teeth aren't tracking as designed.

Teeth Straightening for Adults in Mundy Bois
A significant proportion of orthodontic patients in Mundy Bois are adults. Discreet options and monthly payment plans have made adult treatment far more accessible. A gum-health check, realistic expectations and the right treatment choice are what determine success.

Adults are more likely than teenagers to carry some history of gum disease or recession, so a gum-health assessment — and treatment of any active disease — comes before orthodontics. Moving teeth through unhealthy bone can worsen problems and cause bone loss, which is why most Mundy Bois orthodontists require a recent check confirming gum health first.
