Aligners for Straighter, Happier Smiles in North Shore
The teen years are a time of self-discovery and growing self-awareness.
For some kids of this age, appearance can be a concern when considering orthodontic treatment. For some cases, treatment with aligners is a viable option.
The aligners are also removable, allowing teens to brush and floss easier, and continue enjoying foods with less restrictions compared to braces. The aligners can come out for special occasions like school picture day.

Smooth, Removable Aligners
The smooth, lightweight construction of aligners means less friction than with the brackets and wires of traditional braces. Plus, they are removable, so your teen can take them out to eat, brush, and floss, leaving these daily routines unaffected by treatment.
Low-Profile Aesthetic
One of the biggest benefits of clear aligners is their discreet appearance. In fact, many teens feel more comfortable correcting orthodontic issues because they are no longer concerned about how their smile will look during treatment.
Clear Aligners at Westview Orthodontics
Clear aligners straighten teeth by applying gentle, consistent pressure to the teeth over time.
Treatment consists of a series of custom-made, clear aligners. Each aligner plays a specific role and is then switched out for the next one in the series. This process continues until the desired results are achieved.
