Aligners are a modern, comfortable, and nearly invisible way to straighten teeth. Instead of using brackets and wires like traditional braces, aligners are clear, removable trays custom-made to fit over your teeth.
Aligners provide a modern alternative to traditional orthodontics.
They combine convenience and aesthetics with advanced digital precision —
making them ideal for busy patients who value both comfort and results.
Most people won't even notice you're wearing them.
Smooth, flexible plastic means no metal irritation or poking wires.
Eat, brush, and floss freely without dietary restrictions.
Each aligner is digitally designed for exact tooth movement.
Easier to keep teeth and gums clean throughout treatment.
No broken brackets or wires — fewer unexpected office visits.
If an attachment comes off, it can simply be reattached at your next visit.
Great for patients who want fewer in-office visits and more scheduling flexibility.
A simple, step-by-step journey to your best smile —
guided by advanced digital planning and Dr. Yu's personalized approach.
Comprehensive evaluation of your teeth, jaw, facial structure, and airway health.
Advanced 3D scans and custom treatment design for precise, predictable results.
Wear each set of custom trays, switching to the next set as your teeth gradually move.
A healthier, more balanced smile that looks and feels natural for your face.
Aligners are suitable for patients of all ages — including children, teens, and adults — when used at the right stage of growth and development.
For younger patients, aligners can be combined with early expansion or growth-guided treatments to help shape the jaws and create the proper foundation for future alignment. Across all ages, aligners make it possible to achieve healthy, functional, and beautiful results without the appearance or maintenance of traditional braces.
Patients who have had braces before and noticed shifting over time can use aligners for refinement, and first-time patients can often use them for more comprehensive correction with the right diagnosis and treatment plan.
From simple crowding or spacing to more complex bite and alignment concerns such as rotations, overbites, underbites, or open bites, aligners can address a broad range of cases. With attachments and precise digital planning, treatment remains highly controlled while maintaining comfort and flexibility.
Busy professionals and long-distance patients who value flexibility. Many of our patients travel from out of town or out of state to see Dr. Yu, and aligner therapy allows for fewer in-office visits while maintaining precision through digital check-ins.
Remote monitoring when appropriate allows progress tracking and adjustments without interrupting schedules.
At Face Focused Orthodontics, every aligner plan is uniquely crafted. Dr. Yu evaluates your facial structure, jaw position, and breathing patterns in addition to your dental alignment. This comprehensive perspective ensures that your treatment isn't just about achieving straight teeth — it's about creating balance, supporting airway health, and building a smile that looks and feels natural for your face.
