In-house clear aligners
Orbach In-House Clear Aligners
Our own in-house clear aligners — designed and controlled entirely by Dr. Orbach, with no outside aligner brand in the middle, often at a more accessible price.
What it is
Clear aligners controlled in-house
Orbach Orthodontics Aligners are planned, designed, and managed in-house by Dr. Orbach. It's the same clear, removable treatment — but the orthodontist controls every stage directly, instead of sending your plan to a remote brand lab.
With no third-party brand between you and your orthodontist, Dr. Orbach fine-tunes your plan as your teeth move — and passes the savings on.

Every aligner here can deliver a great result — what decides it is the orthodontist's plan. Dr. Orbach matches the brand to your case at your free consult.
The decision-maker
The orthodontist, not the brand, makes your result
Every aligner here is good plastic — what matters is the hand that plans it. Dr. Orbach chooses the system that fits your case and controls every adjustment himself, in practice since 2010.
