Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, transparent trays that gradually straighten your teeth. Our clear aligners provide a discreet option for teeth straightening.

Clear aligners work by applying gentle, controlled forces to shift your teeth into the desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for about 1-2 weeks before moving on to the next one, with adjustments made throughout your treatment plan.

Clear aligners are suitable for many cases, including mild to moderate spacing, crowding, and alignment issues. During your consultation, our experienced dentist will assess your suitability and discuss the best treatment plan for you.

The duration of clear aligner treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case, usually ranging from 6 to 18 months. During your consultation, we will provide a more accurate timeline for your specific needs.

Clear aligners are nearly invisible, removable for eating and brushing, and offer a more comfortable experience than traditional braces. They fit seamlessly into your lifestyle while delivering effective results.

For optimal results, we recommend wearing your aligners for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking (except water), and brushing your teeth.

You should remove your aligners while eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps to prevent staining or damage to the aligners and keeps your teeth clean.

Rinse your aligners with lukewarm water and use a soft toothbrush to gently clean them. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. Special aligner cleaning solutions are also available for deeper cleaning.

Check-ups are typically scheduled every 6-8 weeks to monitor your progress and provide you with new sets of aligners. These appointments ensure your treatment is on track.

While some patients may experience a slight lisp when they first start wearing aligners, it usually resolves within a few days as your mouth adjusts to the trays.

You may feel slight pressure or discomfort when switching to a new set of aligners, which is a sign that they are working to move your teeth. This typically subsides after a few days.

If you lose or break an aligner, contact us immediately. We will advise whether you should move on to your next set or if a replacement is needed. It’s important to avoid interruptions to your treatment.

The cost of clear aligner treatment depends on the complexity and length of your case. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed quote and discuss payment plans to suit your needs.

Some dental insurance plans may offer partial coverage for orthodontic treatments like clear aligners. We recommend checking with your provider, and our team can assist you with the necessary paperwork.

After completing your clear aligner treatment, wearing retainers is essential to maintain your new smile. Retainers help keep your teeth in their new position and prevent shifting over time.
