Clear aligner treatment

How does it work?

In clear aligner treatment, the teeth are moved step by step with a series of custom-made clear aligners. Each aligner moves the teeth a small amount, and you switch to the next one at set intervals. The plan is prepared from a digital impression.

Who is it suitable for?

Mild to moderate crowding, gaps between teeth and some bite problems can be treated with clear aligners. For complex jaw relationship problems, fixed braces or combined approaches may be more suitable. Which one is appropriate is decided by an orthodontic examination and records.

How long are the aligners worn?

The aligners are removed only to eat and to brush your teeth; your dentist will tell you how many hours a day they need to be worn. If the aligners are not worn enough, the teeth do not move as planned and treatment may take longer.

Attachments

For some tooth movements, small tooth-coloured bumps (attachments) are bonded to the teeth. They help the aligners grip the teeth better and are removed at the end of treatment.

Retention after treatment

Teeth tend to move back towards their original positions after treatment ends. This is why a retainer or a thin wire bonded behind the teeth is used at the end of treatment. Your dentist decides how long retention will last.
