Clear aligners work by applying consistent, controlled pressure to your teeth over time. This pressure signals your body to remodel the bone around each tooth, allowing them to shift gradually into better positions. While the process is guided by a series of aligners, it’s your body’s natural response that makes tooth movement possible. For a full explanation, watch the video from Dr. Anne Richards.
