Photos
You stop avoiding photos
The half-smile and the camera angling quietly go away, and you start liking the candid shots again.
Cape Town
Your perfect smile, made just for you.
Clear aligners custom manufactured to your teeth and planned around your face, designed and made right here in Cape Town.
Your outcome
Your perfect smile, made just for you
Your aligners are custom made for your teeth and planned around your face. Most patients do not come to Mia because they want straight teeth. They come because there is a moment they keep avoiding: a photo, a meeting, a mirror.
Meetings
You smile fully in meetings
No more covering your mouth when you laugh, and a smile that matches how confident you feel.
Discreet
People notice, quietly
Aligners are clear, the change is not. Friends and colleagues see something different and cannot put their finger on it.
Why Mia
Planned by clinicians, made in Cape Town.
Every step happens locally, so your plan and your aligners come from the same team. Over 32 000 cases treated by our team.
Clinical care

HPCSA-registered clinicians plan every case and check in with you along the way.
Made locally
Made in Cape Town
Designed and produced in Cape Town from clinical-grade, plant-based material, with no international shipping wait.
See it first
Your result, before you start
A 3D scan gives you a preview of your expected final result before you commit.
How it works
3 simple steps. 1 great smile.
No brackets, no wires. Your aligners come out for eating, and check-ins fit around your life.
1
Digital scan and custom plan
A precise 3D scan creates a customised plan mapping exactly how your teeth will move, including a preview of the expected final result.
2
Wear your aligners
A series of clear aligners, each worn about 2 weeks. You may feel mild pressure for a day or two with each new set, which is normal and not pain. Scheduled check-ins fit around your life.
3
Retain your results
Custom retainers maintain the new position long-term once treatment is complete.

Questions
The questions Cape Town patients ask most.
Clear, removable trays that gently straighten your teeth over time. Discreet, custom-made to your smile, and a great alternative to traditional braces. No brackets, no wires.
Mia Aligners are planned by HPCSA-registered clinicians and produced in Cape Town from clinical-grade plant-based materials. Because every step happens locally, there is no international shipping, no brand-premium markup and no foreign-exchange exposure baked into your treatment.
It depends on your case. Some finish in 6 months, others take 12 to 18 months. After your scan you receive a clear personalised timeline.
You may feel some pressure or tightness when you start a new set. That is normal and a sign your aligners are working. It usually settles within a day or two.
For the best results, 22 hours a day. Remove them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, or brushing your teeth.
Braces use fixed brackets and wires. Aligners are removable and clear, a more discreet and flexible option. Both can be effective; the right one depends on your case.
We check this at the start. Any fillings or other work is usually done before aligners begin, so we are moving healthy teeth.
First we take a 3D scan, photos and X-rays. Then we send you an estimate. If you are happy, you pay a treatment-planning fee and we create your customised plan. Once approved, your aligners are ordered and you are ready to begin.
