Clear Aligners
At Lattouf Dental, we offer custom-made clear aligners to help correct alignment issues and straighten your teeth discreetly. Clear aligners are a removable and virtually invisible alternative to traditional braces. Over time, these aligners gradually shift your teeth into a predetermined position.
Treatment involves wearing a new set of aligners every two weeks. For optimal results, aligners should be worn for at least 22 hours a day, only removing them for eating, drinking, or cleaning your teeth.
Invisalign & Spark Aligners
Clear aligners, such as Invisalign and Spark, are made from custom-molded, clear plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth. Typically, treatment involves a series of aligners that are replaced every two weeks.
Pros:

Comfortable and custom-fit for each patient
Cons:

Both are excellent choices for individuals looking for a comfortable, discreet, and effective way to straighten their teeth. Your dentist will evaluate your specific needs and help determine which option is best suited to achieve your desired outcome.
