Clear aligners
Also called aligners, invisible braces
A series of clear removable trays that gradually move teeth into place.
Clear aligners are plastic trays made for the patient's mouth that are changed every few weeks, each moving the teeth a little. They are worn most of the day and taken out to eat and clean. They are used for many, though not all, alignment problems. A dentist or orthodontist should supervise treatment. Insurance may cover them like braces under an orthodontic benefit, if the plan has one.
Example at the front desk
She wants aligners, so I will check whether her plan has an orthodontic benefit for adults.
