At Smile Elements, our philosophy is to provide a small number of hyper-optimized aligners to all our patients. Over the course of the treatment, the aligners will provide gentle yet constant force, and your child’s teeth will shift into ideal position. Each of our aligners are custom built to incrementally progress towards a perfect smile.

• How Long Should I Expect my Childs Treatment to Last •
The duration of your child’s treatment depends on the complexity of their case, typically ranging from 9-18 months. Compliance with wearing aligners is crucial for effective treatment. Your child will receive a set of trays to wear in sequential order, switching to a new aligner every two weeks.
• How do Clear Aligners Compare to Metal Braces •
Contrary to popular belief, clear aligners are more capable in resolving dental malocclusion compared to metal braces. With clear aligners, we are able to more accurately map out the movement of each tooth, resulting in more predictable movements, and better-quality outcomes in shorter time frames.
