Clear Aligners Treatment
What are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a type of orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic trays to gradually shift crooked teeth into the desired position1.
How do Clear Aligners work?
Each aligner is designed to move your teeth a fraction of a millimeter at a time. You typically wear each aligner for one to two weeks before switching to the next one in the series1.
Who can benefit from Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are suitable for people with mild to moderate teeth misalignment. They can treat issues like crowded teeth, overbite, underbite, and gaps between teeth1.
Are there different types of Clear Aligners?
Yes, there are various brands and types of clear aligners. Some are designed for in-office use, while others can be used at home. The treatment plan depends on the specific needs of your teeth1.
How long does Clear Aligner treatment take?
The duration of treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case but generally ranges from 6 months to 2 years1.
Is Clear Aligner treatment painful?
Most patients find clear aligner treatment comfortable. However, you may experience some discomfort as your teeth adjust to each new aligner1.
How do I care for my Clear Aligners?
Clean your aligners daily with a soft-bristle toothbrush and non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using hot water or harsh chemicals that could damage the aligners1.
What happens if I lose an aligner?
If you lose an aligner, contact your orthodontist immediately. They can provide a replacement or adjust your treatment plan accordingly1.
How often do I need to visit my orthodontist during Clear Aligner treatment?
Regular checkups are important to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments. Typically, you’ll visit your orthodontist every 4-6 weeks1.
