Clear aligners are custom-made, removable trays designed to gradually straighten your teeth. Using advanced technology, clear aligners apply gentle pressure on specific areas of your teeth, gradually shifting them into the desired position over time. You wear each set of aligners for about 1-2 weeks before switching to the next set in your treatment plan, as guided our experienced dentists.
Clear aligners are highly effective for mild to moderate cases of crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite. However, they may not be suitable for severe misalignment issues or complex bite problems. During your consultation at Officer Smiles, we’ll assess your specific needs and determine if clear aligners are the best option for you.
The treatment duration varies depending on each individual’s needs but typically ranges between 6 to 18 months. Your dentist at Officer Smiles will create a customized treatment plan and provide an estimated timeline based on your specific alignment goals.
Clear aligners are generally more comfortable than traditional braces, but you may experience mild discomfort or pressure, especially when starting a new set of aligners. This is a normal part of the process, as it indicates that your teeth are shifting. The discomfort usually subsides within a few days.
No, it’s best to remove your clear aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. Eating with aligners can damage them, and colored or sugary drinks can cause staining and bacteria buildup. After eating or drinking, be sure to clean your teeth and aligners before putting them back in.
For the best results, clear aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours a day, including while sleeping. Consistent wear is essential to ensure that your treatment stays on track. You should only remove them for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
Clean your aligners daily using a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. Special aligner cleaning solutions are available, but gentle brushing and rinsing are usually effective. Be sure to clean your teeth thoroughly before putting your aligners back in to maintain good oral hygiene.
You may experience a slight lisp or change in speech when you first start wearing clear aligners, but this typically subsides as you get used to them. Most people adjust within a few days, and any speech changes are usually temporary.
