Invisible Aligners Available in Raw

Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces. Plenty of patients across Raw choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. 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.

How Aligner Treatment Works in Raw

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.

Wear time matters above all else: 20–22 hours per day. Attachments — small tooth-coloured bumps bonded to certain teeth — help the trays grip for trickier movements like rotations.

Review appointments in Raw are typically every 6–11 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.

Pricing tracks case complexity more than brand. In Raw, expect aligners to sit close to brace pricing; the important comparison is what each quote includes, not the headline figure.
