FAQ-s

How does ClearStep work?
ClearStep uses proprietary technology to produce positioners customised for each patient’s teeth. The patient wears one set of positioners for TWO weeks and then moves to another set if necessary. ClearStep uses clear, polymer positioners to move teeth in small increments. Each positioner is designed to apply controlled force on the patient’s teeth. By the end of treatment, the teeth have will have moved from an untreated to a treated, beautiful smile.
