What to Know About Clear Aligners
How do clear aligners work?
Clear aligners are custom-made trays that fit over your teeth and move them gradually into the right position. You’ll switch to a new set every few weeks as your teeth shift. The process is planned out in advance using dental scans.
What problems can clear aligners fix?
Clear aligners work well for:
- Mild to moderate crowding or gaps
- Bite issues like overbites and underbites
- Minor shifting after past orthodontic treatment
They must be worn 20–22 hours a day to be effective.
For more serious issues, like severe malocclusion, clear aligners may not be the right choice.
Do clear aligners hurt to wear?
There may be some mild pressure or soreness when you start a new tray, but it usually goes away in a day or two. They’re much smoother and more comfortable than metal braces.
How long does treatment take?
Most people finish treatment in 6 to 18 months. It depends on how much correction is needed. We’ll give you a custom plan during your visit.
Can I eat and drink with them in?
You should take the aligners out when eating or drinking anything besides water. This keeps them clean and clear. Be sure to brush before putting them back in.
Let Maley Family Dental help you get a straighter smile with clear aligners – a simple, nearly invisible solution that fits your lifestyle.
