About Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are the newest and increasingly popular choice for aligning teeth. The aligners are invisible and removable, making them a top choice for teenagers and adults. The system uses clear, acrylic trays that straighten teeth just like braces and are much more comfortable. Clear aligners are nice because you can remove them to eat, drink, brush, and floss your teeth as normal. Clear aligners need to be worn as much as possible and need to be cleaned and adjusted regularly for optimal results.

Why Consider Clear Aligners

Crowded or crooked teeth can be harder to clean, which can increase the risk of decay and gum problems. Straightening them can make daily care easier and may help balance your bite. Clear aligners let you straighten your teeth without the look of metal braces. Because they come out for meals, there are no food restrictions, and brushing and flossing stay simple. They do require commitment. Aligners only work when they are worn, typically 20 to 22 hours a day.

What to Expect

Your consultation includes an exam and a discussion of your goals to see whether clear aligners suit your case. If they do, records are taken and a custom series of aligners is made. You switch to a new set of aligners on a set schedule, and each set moves the teeth a small amount. Periodic visits help us confirm everything is on track. Once your teeth reach their new positions, a retainer helps hold them there.

Common Questions

Are clear aligners the same as Invisalign?
Invisalign is one well-known brand of clear aligner. The general approach is similar: a series of clear, removable trays that move teeth gradually.
Who is a good candidate for clear aligners?
Many teens and adults with mild to moderate crowding, spacing or bite issues can be good candidates. Complex cases may be better treated with braces.
How many hours a day do I need to wear them?
Typically 20 to 22 hours a day. Remove them only to eat, drink anything other than water, and clean your teeth.
Do clear aligners hurt?
You may feel pressure or mild soreness for a day or two after switching to a new set. That is normal and usually fades quickly.
How do I clean my aligners?
Rinse them when you take them out and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush and cool water. Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic.
