What are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, transparent plastic trays to gradually straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces, these removable aligners are virtually invisible and offer a more comfortable and convenient way to align your teeth. They're custom-designed using advanced 3D imaging technology to fit snugly over your teeth, gently shifting them into their ideal positions over time.

Benefits

Predictable Results

Clear aligner treatment uses advanced 3D imaging technology to plan your entire treatment process. This allows you to see a virtual representation of your expected results before starting treatment. The precise, computer-generated movements ensure more predictable outcomes and often shorter treatment times.

Comfort and Convenience

Unlike fixed braces, clear aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush, and floss without restrictions. They're also made of smooth plastic, eliminating the discomfort often associated with metal brackets and wires. This convenience makes maintaining good oral hygiene much easier during treatment.

Aesthetic Appeal

Clear aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without the noticeable appearance of traditional metal braces. This discreet treatment option is ideal for adults and teens who want to improve their smile without drawing attention to their orthodontic treatment.

How long does clear aligner treatment take?

Treatment duration varies depending on individual needs, but typically ranges from 6 to 18 months. Minor corrections may take less time, while more complex cases may require longer treatment. Consistent wear of 22-23 hours per day is crucial for timely results.

Can I eat and drink with clear aligners in?

It's best to remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining and damage to the aligners. Always brush your teeth before reinserting your aligners to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment.
