Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a good candidate for clear aligners?
Clear aligners are often recommended for teens and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns, such as crowded teeth, gaps, minor overbites, underbites, crossbites, and crooked teeth. A comprehensive dental examination is needed to determine whether clear aligners are the most appropriate treatment option or if another orthodontic solution would provide better results.
How long does clear aligner treatment usually take?
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of the case and how consistently the aligners are worn. Many patients complete treatment within 6 to 18 months, although some cases may require more or less time. Wearing the aligners for the recommended 20 to 22 hours per day and attending regular follow-up appointments can help keep treatment on schedule.
How should clear aligners be cleaned and maintained?
Clear aligners should be cleaned daily using lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush or a cleaner specifically designed for clear aligners. Hot water should be avoided because it can warp the plastic. Removing the aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water and maintaining good brushing and flossing habits can help keep both the aligners and teeth clean throughout treatment.
