Details
Clear aligners are a type of orthodontic treatment that are an increasingly popular alternative to traditional metal braces. They are custom-made from a clear, flexible plastic material and work to gradually move the teeth into the desired position. Clear aligners are virtually invisible when worn, so they can be a great choice for those who are self-conscious about their orthodontic treatment.
The process of using clear aligners begins with a consultation with an orthodontist. During the consultation, the orthodontist will take x-rays, impressions, and photographs of the patient’s teeth. These materials are then sent to a lab where the clear aligners are custom-made to fit the patient’s teeth. The process of using clear aligners begins with a consultation with an orthodontist.

The patient will then receive a series of clear aligners which must be worn for at least 22 hours per day for the duration of the treatment. Each aligner is worn for two weeks before the patient switches to the next one in the series. As the patient progresses through the aligners, the teeth gradually move into the desired position.
The length of treatment with clear aligners will vary based on the complexity of the case, but it is typically completed within 12 to 18 months. Clear aligners are removable, making it easier for the patient to brush and floss their teeth and maintain good oral hygiene. In addition, clear aligners are more comfortable than traditional metal braces, as they do not have any metal brackets or wires that can cause irritation.
Overall, clear aligners are an effective and discreet orthodontic treatment option for those looking for a straighter, healthier smile.
