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.
  • Overlapping bite — the upper and lower incisors overlap
  • Interdental space — when there is a gap between teeth
  • 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:

  1. Consultation – An orthodontist examines your teeth, takes X-rays, and makes a digital scan or impression. Some providers allow at-home impression kits.

  2. Custom Treatment Plan – Your scans are sent to a dental lab, where orthodontists create a personalized plan, including digital simulations of progress.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

It’s relatively common to experience some inflammation or sensitivity for the very first couple of days of putting on a brand-new aligner. However, the more you use the aligner, the more comfortable they end up being. Sores and also irritability are possible but actually do not happen that frequently.

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.

Robust aligners are among the most comfortable in the industry. Similar to dental braces, if aligners alter also suddenly in between steps, they can trigger unneeded discomfort. Robust aligners utilize a one-of-a-kind system that balances your convenience and also therapy time.

No. The aligners are fairly basic to maintain tidy. However, dental caries, gum illness, decalcification (long-term markings on the teeth), or inflammation of the gum tissues may happen, if proper oral health and preventative upkeep are not kept.

Many aligners can be cleaned with a toothbrush as well as trendy water. Non-abrasive toothpaste is additionally advised. Cleaning instructions are on every bag of new aligners.

 

Depending on your therapy, it might be essential to briefly fasten attachments (those unusual bumps) to your teeth. They’re made from tooth-colored composite material and also exist to assist with challenging tooth movements. When you’re not wearing your aligners, they can really feel unpleasant in your mouth. Don’t stress! They’re easy to get rid of after treatment is finished, and they are used only when definitely necessary.

 

That depends entirely on the therapy goals you establish with your doctor as well as the quantity of correction that needs to be accomplished. Treatment time can sometimes exceed price quotes. Poor conformity, missing visits, excessive bone growth, poor oral hygiene as well as busted devices can make therapy time much longer, increase costs as well as impact the top quality of your results.

Treatment time can also vary considerably depending on an individual’s health as well as physiology. Much of orthodontic tooth motion depends on metabolic rate and also bone makeover. Better, the price of tooth motion is not always straight and likewise depends upon the kind of movement is done. For these reasons, therapy times are estimates based on the medical professional’s medical assessment searchings for and experience.

It’s recommended that you wear aligners 22 hours a day. They should be eliminated for dishes just, brushing as well as flossing prior to re-inserting the aligner. Otherwise worn for approximately 22 hours a day, the restorative process can be halted and also within a few hours start to turn around. It can after that take numerous days for this process to start up once more. Using your aligners 22 hours a day is a key to attaining your treatment objectives.

While the therapy aligners will certainly have a determined duration of wear based on the therapy objectives, the retainers may have to be put on for an extensive amount of time based on the condition of the therapy result.
No. Robust aligners are made without BPA or phthalates and also have been approved by the FDA and CE.
