Aligners

Aligners are custom-made, clear plastic trays designed to straighten teeth discreetly. Unlike traditional braces, aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, offering greater convenience and comfort. They work by applying gentle, consistent pressure to shift teeth gradually into the desired position. Benefits include improved oral hygiene, since they can be taken out, and a more aesthetically pleasing treatment process, making them a popular choice for both teens and adults seeking orthodontic care.

FAQs

Aligners work by applying gentle, consistent pressure to gradually move teeth into the desired position over time. Each set of aligners is custom-made to fit the patient’s teeth at different stages of treatment. As the patient progresses through the series of aligners, their teeth gradually shift until they reach the desired alignment.
Aligners can be highly effective for many cases of mild to moderate teeth misalignment. However, for more severe cases or certain types of bite issues, traditional braces may be more effective. It’s essential to consult with an orthodontist to determine the most suitable treatment option based on individual needs.  
Aligners should typically be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day to be effective. They should only be removed for eating, drinking (except for water), brushing, and flossing. Consistently wearing aligners as prescribed by your orthodontist is crucial for achieving the desired results within the estimated treatment time.  
It’s recommended to remove aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. Eating with aligners in can damage them and may also lead to hygiene issues. After eating or drinking, it’s essential to brush your teeth before reinserting the aligners to maintain oral hygiene and prevent staining or bacterial buildup.
If you experience discomfort, such as soreness or pressure on your teeth or gums, it’s normal, especially when you start wearing a new set of aligners. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help alleviate discomfort. However, if you have concerns or questions about your treatment progress or experience significant discomfort, it’s essential to contact your orthodontist for guidance and assistance. They can provide advice or make adjustments to ensure your treatment remains on track.
