"Clear aligners" Modern dentistry with predictable results

Because teeth do not only function to chew food, but they also play a part in enhancing your appearance. Having clean, white, and beautifully aligned teeth naturally makes your smile more charming. “Clear aligners” are one way to help organize your teeth to look as you desire without having to attach fixed braces to your teeth anymore, boosting your confidence for a brighter smile than ever before.

How are clear aligners different?

Clear aligners are a new standard orthodontic treatment using innovative removable orthodontic devices made specifically for you and only you. These aligners are made from nearly invisible plastic. When you wear them, they help gradually move your teeth into the proper position, allowing you to live your life normally during treatment. People hardly notice that you are wearing orthodontic devices.

Outstanding advantages of clear aligners

• Almost invisible: Clear aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to remain confident, have a beautiful smile, and maintain your lifestyle even during treatment.
• More comfortable: Clear aligners are comfortable because they do not have metal or wires that irritate your gums or inside of your mouth.
• Maintain oral health: Clear aligners can be removed, making it easy to clean your teeth and maintain oral health during treatment.
• Fewer dental visits: Treatment with clear aligners usually requires fewer dental visits compared to some other types of braces.
• See tooth movement: Clear aligner treatment allows you to see progress at each stage from start to finish. Some patients may need additional steps, such as re-impressions and new aligners, to complete the treatment.

What are the steps for clear aligner treatment?

1. First, the dentist will take X-rays and digital scans or impressions of your teeth to help plan your orthodontic treatment.
2. The clear aligner manufacturer will use this information along with the dentist’s treatment plan to create a 3D customized orthodontic plan tailored specifically for you.
3. Customized aligners will be produced and sent to your dentist’s office.
4. The custom-made aligner sets will be delivered to you (usually 3-4 sets at a time) for you to wear daily and change approximately every 2 weeks at home.
5. You will need to visit your dentist approximately every 6-8 weeks to check the progress of your treatment and receive the next sets of aligners.
6. After completing the treatment, retainers may be required to maintain the proper position of your teeth.

How long does the treatment take?

Clear aligner treatment will start showing results within 2-3 months after beginning. The total treatment duration depends on your needs and the dentist’s evaluation. The average treatment time for adults is about 12 to 18 months. For teenagers, the treatment duration may vary depending on the condition of their teeth.
