Clear aligners in brief

In clear aligner treatment, a series of thin, transparent aligners is made for your teeth. Each aligner moves the teeth very slightly; by moving on to the next aligner at set intervals, the teeth are brought into the planned position.

The aligners come out when you eat and brush your teeth, and stay in for the rest of the day. Whether the treatment works depends largely on wearing the aligners consistently. Not every case can be treated with aligners; suitability is decided at an orthodontic examination.

Like braces, clear aligners move the teeth step by step. Each new aligner moves the teeth a little closer to their place.

Suitability

When can clear aligners be used?

Suitability depends on the teeth and jaws. Conditions often treated with aligners:

Mild to moderate crowdingOverlapping teeth.

Gaps between teethSpaces between the teeth.

Some bite problemsDeep bite or open bite cases that the orthodontist finds suitable.

RelapsePatients who had braces before but whose teeth have shifted again.

Comparison

Clear aligners or braces?

Both methods have their place; we decide together at the examination which one suits you.

!Suitable cases: Mild and moderate cases
•Check-ups: Aligner changes and periodic check-ups

Braces

!Appearance: Metal or ceramic brackets are visible

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about clear aligners

Are clear aligners visible?

Because the aligners are thin and transparent, they are usually not noticed when you talk or smile. The small attachments bonded to the teeth are tooth-coloured, so they are not obvious.

How long does clear aligner treatment take?

It depends on the case; mild cases may take a few months, more complex cases 1–2 years. The length is set in the treatment plan.

Can I eat while wearing aligners?

No. You need to take the aligners out to eat, then brush your teeth and put them back in afterwards.

Can all crowding be corrected with aligners?

No. In some complex cases, braces may be more suitable. Suitability is decided with an orthodontic examination and records.

Do clear aligners hurt?

When you switch to a new aligner, there may be a feeling of pressure for the first day or two. This usually passes quickly.

Will my teeth go back after treatment?

Without a retainer, the teeth may drift over time. That is why a retainer or fixed wire is recommended at the end of treatment.

Can teenagers use clear aligners?

Yes, in suitable cases. Because the aligners need to be worn consistently, commitment from the patient and family is important.
