What are clear aligners?

Clear aligners are a modern orthodontic treatment that straightens your teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. These aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene.

How do clear aligners work?

Clear aligners work by gradually shifting your teeth into their desired positions. You wear a series of custom-made aligners that are designed to move your teeth incrementally. You'll typically change to a new set of aligners every two weeks.

Are clear aligners effective for crooked teeth?

Yes, clear aligners are effective for treating crooked teeth, mild to moderate misalignments, and bite issues. However, more severe cases may still require traditional braces. Your dentist will assess your specific needs during the consultation.

How long do I need to wear the aligners each day?

For optimal results, you should wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day, only removing them to eat, drink, and brush your teeth.

Are clear aligners comfortable?

Clear aligners are generally more comfortable than traditional braces because they don’t have wires or brackets that can irritate your mouth. Some minor discomfort may occur when switching to a new set of aligners, but this is typically temporary.

How long does treatment take with clear aligners?

Treatment with clear aligners usually takes between 6 to 18 months, depending on the severity of your misalignment and your commitment to wearing the aligners.

What happens after treatment?

Once your treatment is complete, you'll be given a retainer to wear at night to maintain the new position of your teeth. You can also choose to enhance your smile with teeth whitening treatments.

How do I know if I’m a good candidate for clear aligners?

If you’re in good health and have minor to moderate misalignment, clear aligners are likely a good option for you. A consultation with a dentist will determine if they are right for your needs.

What are the benefits of clear aligners over traditional braces?

The benefits of clear aligners over traditional braces include: 1) Virtually invisible, so they won’t affect your appearance. 2) Removable for eating and drinking, making it easier to maintain your oral hygiene. 3) No wires or brackets, offering more comfort and convenience. 4) A cost-effective treatment option for many patients.
