Questions
Am I a good candidate for 3M™ Clarity™ Aligners?
Your doctor will determine whether or not you are a candidate for 3M™ Clarity™ Aligners based on the severity of your misalignment, your orthodontic goals, and your age. Currently, we only offer 3M™ Clarity™ Aligners to teens and adults.
How do 3M™ Clarity™ Aligners compare to other clear aligner brands?
These aligners are made out of a slightly different material than the other clear aligner brands. They utilize two types of plastics developed and manufactured by 3M specifically for Clarity Aligners, and they can make substantial changes in alignment for patients needing moderate correction but wanting a more discreet option than braces.
How long do 3M™ Clarity™ Aligners take to straighten teeth?
The time it takes to straighten your teeth will depend on the severity of your misalignment, as the total number of aligners needed to complete your treatment will vary based on your smile’s needs.
