What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are clear, plastic trays used to straighten your teeth. They’re a less noticeable alternative to traditional braces because they’re almost invisible. You wear them most of the day and take them out when you eat or brush your teeth. Over time, you'll switch to new trays that gradually move your teeth into the right position. They’re comfortable, removable, and easy to clean, making them a popular choice for many people who want to improve their smile without the look of metal braces.

4 Advantages of

Clear Aligners

Discreet Appearance

Clear aligners are made of transparent plastic, making them much less noticeable than traditional metal braces. They allow you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention.

Comfortable Fit

Made from smooth plastic, clear aligners are generally more comfortable and less irritating to the inside of your mouth compared to metal braces with wires and brackets.

Removable

You can take clear aligners out when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. This makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene and enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions.


Fewer Office Visits

Clear aligners often require fewer trips to the orthodontist for adjustments, as you switch to new trays on your own based on your treatment plan. This can save you time and reduce the frequency of appointments

What to Expect When Getting Clear Aligners?


When getting clear aligners, you’ll begin with an initial consultation where our orthodontist will assess your teeth and discuss your goals. They will take X-rays, photos, and impressions to create a personalized treatment plan. Custom clear aligners will then be made to fit your teeth precisely.


You’ll need to wear the aligners for about 20-22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene, and switch to a new set every 1-2 weeks. Regular check-ups will be necessary to monitor progress and receive new aligners. Initially, you might feel some discomfort or pressure with each new set, which is normal.


Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial, so clean both your teeth and aligners regularly. After your treatment, you’ll receive retainers to keep your teeth in their new positions and prevent them from shifting.


Clear Aligners FAQs

Got questions about clear aligners? We've got the answers you need.

  • How do clear aligners work?

    Clear aligners are custom-made plastic trays that fit over your teeth. They gradually shift your teeth into the desired position by applying gentle, consistent pressure. You'll switch to a new set of aligners every 1-2 weeks to continue the adjustment process.

  • Are clear aligners as effective as traditional braces?

    Yes, clear aligners can be just as effective as traditional braces for many orthodontic issues, including misaligned teeth and gaps. However, their effectiveness depends on the complexity of your case. Your orthodontist will determine the best treatment option for you.

  • How long does treatment with clear aligners take?

    The duration of clear aligner treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. On average, treatment can take between 6 to 18 months. Your orthodontist will provide a more accurate estimate based on your specific needs.

  • Can I eat and drink while wearing clear aligners?

    It’s best to remove clear aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps prevent staining and damage to the aligners. After eating or drinking, brush your teeth and clean your aligners before putting them back in.

  • How do I care for my clear aligners?

    To keep your clear aligners clean, brush them gently with a toothbrush and rinse them with lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water or harsh cleaning products, as they can warp the plastic. Regularly clean your aligners and maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing your teeth daily.
