How Clear Aligners Work

To move your teeth and bite into their ideal places, a custom series of clear aligners will be made. Each set in the series should be worn for 20-22 hours a day and for 7-14 days at a time. When you reach the end of your first batch, you’ll come to our office so we can monitor the movement of your teeth. This process will repeat until we’ve achieved the desired results. At this point, we will have a custom retainer made to prevent orthodontic relapse (when teeth drift out of their ideal places).

Who Clear Aligners Can Help

Fortunately, clear aligners can address mild to moderate cases of several common orthodontic problems, including:

Crowded Teeth

Unfortunately, even if your teeth only overlap slightly, it can be difficult to smile confidently and keep your smile healthy. That’s why we recommend exploring your treatment options, like clear aligners! If you’re a good candidate, then we can gently guide your teeth into their ideal places, improving your self-esteem and oral health in the process.

Gaps Between Teeth

Of course, some patients are struggling with similar issues due to the opposite problem: too much space. The good news is that clear aligners are often still a solution. If we determine that’s the case for you during your consultation, then we will create a custom series of aligners to gently bring your teeth closer together, eliminating the gaps in the process.

Bite Alignment

Good news: clear aligners can correct common bite problems as well! So, if you have an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or open bite, don’t just assume that metal braces are your only option. Instead, schedule an appointment at our office so we can determine if clear aligners are right for you.
