10 Signs You’re a Great Candidate for Clear Moves Aligners

Thinking about straightening your teeth without metal braces? Clear Moves Aligners offer a modern, discreet path to a confident smile. Below are ten clear signs you might be an excellent fit—explained in simple, friendly terms, with a professional lens on predictability, safety, and outcomes.


1) Your crowding or spacing is mild to moderate

If your teeth slightly overlap, rotate, or have small gaps, aligners are often ideal. Clear Moves is designed for these common concerns and can address many alignment issues efficiently under a dentist’s guidance.

Why it matters: Aligners move teeth in small, controlled steps. Mild to moderate issues respond predictably and often finish faster than complex cases.


2) Your gums and teeth are healthy (or you’re ready to get them there)

Healthy gums and cavity-free teeth are the foundation of any orthodontic treatment. If you have active gum disease or untreated decay, your dentist will stabilize these first.

Why it matters: Healthy tissues respond better to tooth movement, reduce risk, and help treatment stay on schedule.


3) You can commit to wearing aligners 20–22 hours a day

Consistency is everything with aligners. If you can wear them daily—removing only for meals, drinks (except water), and brushing—you’re set up for success.

Why it matters: Clear aligners don’t work when they’re in the case. Strong wear-time habits keep your plan effective and on track.


4) You value a discreet, professional look

If you interact with clients, present often, or just prefer a low-profile solution, Clear Moves Aligners are virtually invisible. You can smile, meet, and speak with confidence.

Why it matters: Confidence and comfort go hand in hand. Discreet treatment supports both.


5) You prefer a fully digital experience

With Clear Moves, your journey starts with a digital scan (no messy molds). Your dentist reviews a 3D treatment plan that shows how teeth will move over time.

Why it matters: Digital planning improves precision, communication, and transparency—so you understand the path before you begin.


6) You practice good daily hygiene—or want an easier way to start

Because aligners are removable, you can brush and floss as normal. If you’re committed to clean aligners and thorough oral hygiene, you’ll likely love this approach.

Why it matters: Clean teeth and trays protect your gums, minimize staining, and support healthy, predictable tooth movement.


7) You’ve had braces before and noticed some relapse

Minor shifting after past orthodontic care is common. If your teeth have drifted slightly, aligners can typically nudge them back into place.

Why it matters: Relapse cases are often straightforward and respond well to clear aligners.


8) Your bite concerns are mild to moderate

Aligners can handle many cases of mild overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite—especially when the underlying jaw structure is stable.

Why it matters: Severe skeletal discrepancies may need braces or additional therapies. If your bite is mild to moderate, aligners can be a streamlined solution.


9) You want predictable, doctor-led treatment

Clear Moves works with licensed dentists and orthodontists who oversee each step of your plan—from scanning and planning to refinements and retainers.

Why it matters: Clinical oversight ensures your teeth move safely and that your plan adapts if something changes.


10) Comfort and convenience matter to you

No wires. Fewer chair-side adjustments. Travel-friendly wear. If you value comfort and flexibility, aligners are designed around your lifestyle.

Why it matters: The easier your routine, the more consistent you’ll be—and consistency delivers results.

Who may need a different approach?

  • Active gum disease or untreated cavities: Get these treated first.

  • Severe bite/jaw discrepancies: You may need braces, auxiliaries, or a combined approach.

  • Low wear-time tolerance: If you can’t commit to 20–22 hours/day, results may stall.

A consultation will clarify your options. The goal is the safest, most effective path—not a one-size-fits-all plan.
