CLEAR ALIGNER FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
A clear aligner is great orthodontic device that provides convenience and flexibility. Here are when you may need clear aligners.
Here are some cases that need to use clear aligners:
- Crowded teeth — the upper and lower teeth are crowded.

- Open bite — when the mouth is closed tightly, the front and upper teeth are tilted outward and do not touch. This is a very rare malocclusion.
There are 2 kinds of clear aligner options available: In-office aligners and At-home aligners.
In-office Aligners
In-office aligners are one of the most widely known choices, since they have been around the longest. You have to see a certified dental expert to receive these aligners, and also the therapy process is more expensive.
At-home Aligners
At-home aligners are called direct-to-consumer aligners, are cheaper than in-office aligners. Treatment is finished remotely, so you will never go to a dentist or an orthodontist for appointments.
Both in-office and also at-home aligners are constructed from clear, medical-grade, BPA-free plastic. Some aligners do not touch your gum tissues at all. They are cut to pleasantly sit along your periodontal line in a ‘scalloped style.’ This design makes the trays much less annoying and a lot more ‘unseen’.
Clear aligners gradually straighten teeth using a series of custom-made trays. Each aligner shifts teeth slightly (about 1mm or less) over time.
The Process:
-
Consultation – An orthodontist examines your teeth, takes X-rays, and makes a digital scan or impression. Some providers allow at-home impression kits.
-
Custom Treatment Plan – Your scans are sent to a dental lab, where orthodontists create a personalized plan, including digital simulations of progress.
-
Aligner Use – New aligners are worn every 10–14 days for about 22 hours per day. Treatment lasts between 3–24 months, depending on complexity.
-
After Treatment – A custom retainer maintains results and prevents teeth from shifting back. Retainers should be worn around 20 hours per day.
Clear aligners offer a discreet, removable way to straighten teeth with consistent wear and follow-up care.
Teeth aligners, when under the direct supervision of an orthodontist, are without a doubt risk-free and highly efficient at attaining tooth motion.
There is also proof that making use of teeth aligners can even promote better dental wellness. A 2014 systematic review published by the European Journal of Orthodontics located that clear aligner customers experienced considerable renovations in their gum wellness. This indicates that the sustaining frameworks of their teeth showed wellness improvements as a result of aligner therapy.
While using clear aligners is usually not excruciating, there will certainly be short durations, days but not weeks, when the brand-new aligners might cause the teeth to be uncomfortable.
Even though it is rare, you will experience people glancing at your teeth and asking, “What do you have on your teeth?”. Your ‘bite’ will certainly really feel various periodically while the teeth remain in the shift.
You might have a lisp at first while becoming accustomed to chatting with the aligner. You might have engagers (” buttons”) a tiny bump on the aligner, aiding the aligner to move the tooth.
The aligners can also sometimes briefly influence your speech. However, most individuals adapt rapidly to using the aligners and it is rare that your speech would be impaired for an extended period of time. You might additionally experience a short-term rise in salivation or dryness of the mouth.
