Clear aligners are custom-made orthodontic devices crafted from transparent, medical-grade plastic. They offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces, gently guiding teeth into alignment while remaining virtually invisible during wear.
Treatment with clear aligners involves a series of trays, each designed to make slight adjustments to tooth position. By applying controlled, gentle force, each aligner gradually shifts the teeth closer to the desired alignment. Patients progress through new sets every 1–2 weeks until the treatment goals are achieved.
Yes. Clear aligners are highly effective in treating many orthodontic concerns, such as crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. The success of treatment depends on both the complexity of the case and consistent patient compliance.
The length of treatment varies depending on individual needs and case complexity. On average, treatment can range from a few months to over a year. Your orthodontist will provide a customized timeline based on your treatment plan.
Mild discomfort or pressure may be experienced, particularly when switching to a new set of aligners. This is a normal sign that the treatment is working. Any discomfort is usually temporary and can be eased with over-the-counter pain relief if necessary.
For optimal results, aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours per day. They should only be removed when eating, drinking (anything other than water), brushing, or flossing. Consistent wear is essential for achieving the desired outcome on schedule.
