Clear Aligners FAQs
Clear aligners are a series of clear trays used to straighten teeth
- Time for a snack? No problem. Take out your aligners to eat or drink whenever you want.
- You can remove your clear aligners so you can brush and floss regularly, and keep your teeth and gums healthy.
- You can occasionally remove your clear aligners to enjoy a special night out.
- There’s no need to change a thing. Continue your day-to-day activities while still straightening your teeth.
- Be yourself with clear aligners. Since they are clear, you don’t have to hide your smile while going through treatment.
- With clear aligners treatment, it’s easy to make your smile picture-perfect for that special occasion.
- Clear aligners treatment appointments work with your schedule. Most visits are in and out, with a quick progress check once every six weeks.
Then a series of clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth (and your teeth only) to move them little by little. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before being replaced by the next in the series until the final position of your teeth is achieved.
Your clear aligners treatment time will be determined by your doctor based on your specific needs.
Unlike traditional metal braces, clear aligners treatment does not use metal brackets or wires that could cause irritation to your mouth. In addition, you’ll spend less time in the doctor’s chair and scheduling appointments, and more time out doing the things you love.
Lastly, clear aligners treatment technology allows you to view your virtual results and treatment plan before you start your treatment, so you can preview how your straight teeth will look once your treatment is complete.
