What Are NiTime Aligners (AirFlex)?

NiTime Aligners, sometimes referred to as AirFlex aligners, are a clear aligner system developed by OrthoFX that allows teeth straightening with reduced daily wear time.
Unlike traditional aligners worn for most of the day, NiTime Aligners are typically worn for:

  • 12–16 hours per day
  • Often overnight, while you sleep

Using OrthoFX AirFlex technology and advanced digital orthodontic planning, these night-time aligners move teeth efficiently with fewer hours of wear.

Why Choose NiTime Aligners Over Traditional Aligners?

NiTime Aligners are ideal for patients who want flexibility without compromising results.
Key benefits include:

  • Reduced wear time compared to standard aligners
  • Often worn overnight minimal daytime impact
  • Discreet and comfortable clear aligners at night
  • Removeable for eating and drinking
  • You can brush & floss as normal
  • Advanced aligner technology from OrthoFX

For many patients, this makes discreet teeth straightening far more manageable than full day aligner wear.
