Clear aligners are removable, transparent trays that gradually move your teeth into a better position. They’re designed to fit into day-to-day life, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly with fewer appointments than traditional braces.
Clear aligners are thin, transparent trays that fit closely over your teeth. Each set is slightly different, gradually guiding your teeth into a new position. As you move through the series, small changes build up into a more even alignment. Because they’re removable, you can take them out to eat, drink, and clean your teeth. Clear aligners are considered the most effective way to straighten your teeth without the use of braces
At Ark-G Dental, we offer a range of aligner systems, including:
Each system works similarly, but may be suited to different cases. We’ll recommend what fits best based on your teeth and what you’re hoping to achieve.
Moving teeth is a longer process than treatments like bonding, so it’s important to plan it properly. We look at:
In some cases, a small cosmetic adjustment is enough. In others, aligning the teeth first leads to a more stable and natural-looking outcome.

Crowded teeth is a condition where you do not have enough room for your teeth to fit normally. This can cause plaque or tartar and other harmful bacteria to build up as it is harder for you to brush and floss well.
Gaps between teeth is when there is extra space between two or more of your teeth. This can cause pockets between your teeth and gums and can cause food to get stuck making them tender and sore. This might also lead to gum disease.
An Open bite is when your upper and lower teeth don't touch when you close your mouth. An open bite can make it hard for you to chew or difficult to bite even the most common of food like apples.
An underbite is when you close your mouth and your lower front teeth are in front of your upper teeth. In many cases, this is actually a problem with your lower jaw being too far forward. An underbite can make it hard to chew properly and speak clearly, and it might cause your teeth to wear down more quickly.
An overbite is when your upper front teeth overlap with your lower front teeth. Most people have at least a little overbite. When your overbite is too large, your doctor might tell you you have a deep bite. This can cause problems, from your teeth wearing down to pain in your jaw.
A crossbite is when you close your mouth and yet some of your upper teeth are sitting inside your lower teeth rather than on the outside. A crossbite can make your teeth wear down or chip. It can also make your gums start to recede or make little notches above your gum line. This kind of damage can lead to painful gum problems or even bone loss.
