Using an iTero 3D scanner and 3D printing technology allows for aligners that fit precisely at a lower cost than Invisalign® or braces, making Shift Aligners™ the most affordable option at Ortho South for suitable cases.

With affordable costs, reduced treatment time, high-quality aligners, and a high level of professional care, there are plenty of reasons to consider Shift Aligners™. Schedule your free consultation to find out whether they are right for you.

Thanks to advanced orthodontic technology, teeth impressions with putty or goop are no longer needed for Shift Aligners™. A simple 3D scan of your teeth captures the information needed to plan your aligners.

We combine that 3D scan data with specialized software to design your treatment. For suitable cases, this focused approach can reduce overall treatment time compared with more comprehensive options. Average treatment time is about 3–5 months, depending on your needs, with approximately 2–3 office visits.

No messy impressions.
