Orthodontic treatment with clear aligners is a type of orthodontic therapy that straightens the teeth. Trays prepared specifically to fit your jaw cover your teeth and gently move them into the correct position over time. Just like with metal wires or brackets, it uses gradual force to control tooth movement.
Like traditional braces, clear aligners are designed to move the teeth, but they have certain advantages over braces. Among these advantages are that they are less noticeable and generally less painful. In order for the aligners to achieve the desired movement, they need to be changed at specific time intervals.
Anyone with good oral and dental health – that is, whose gums, teeth and jawbones are suitable for orthodontic treatment – can receive clear aligner therapy. Clear aligners are made from a strong plastic material and are individually custom-made for each person.
I was undecided between braces and clear aligner treatment. I did a lot of research and clear aligners seemed more appealing, and they are really very comfortable to use. My teeth are moving, and I come in for check-ups from time to time; thanks to the doctor and his team.
I had significant irregularities in some areas of my teeth. I am undergoing clear aligner treatment and I can see the changes with my own eyes. We are in safe, expert hands.
Since braces could be uncomfortable, we chose clear aligner treatment for my child. We make sure to wear them as much as our doctor recommends. I’m at ease because my child’s nutrition is not restricted.
Yes. Clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth and fit perfectly, so they are very hard to see. However, if they are not cleaned regularly, staining may occur, which makes the aligner more noticeable.
No. You may notice a slight change when you first start using the aligner, but this usually disappears in a short time.
Each patient is usually given around 20–24 clear aligners. Each aligner should be worn for about 20–22 hours a day, and you generally move on to a new set every two weeks. However, the total treatment time depends on the severity of your dental crowding or irregularity and can be estimated during a short examination.
If you want to get effective results from clear aligner treatment, you should wear them for an average of 22 hours a day. How quickly your teeth straighten depends on how regularly you use your aligners. Otherwise, your treatment plan may be delayed.
Orthodontic treatment with clear aligners is generally more comfortable than braces. You may feel some discomfort each time you switch to a new set of aligners. However, as the teeth begin to move, this feeling quickly disappears.
You should visit the clinic approximately every 6 weeks for a general examination and to change your aligner sets. During these visits, the progress of your treatment will be closely monitored in detail.
The cost varies depending on the severity of the orthodontic problem and how many sets of aligners will be needed. This process can be estimated during your examination; however, if patients do not wear their aligners for the required number of hours per day and the treatment is prolonged, this may negatively affect the overall process.
