How do clear aligners straighten the teeth?
You will receive your clear aligners as a set of multiple aligners.
Each Aligner will make slight adjustments to your teeth positioning. This is a process that is reviewed and approved by an orthodontist before you undergo treatment. As you advance along from Aligner to Aligner as prescribed, you will be seeing the results as your teeth positioning shifts toward your ideal smile!

Do I have to wear it every day?
Yes, do wear your clear aligners for the duration as prescribed. Your aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours a day. Only to remove them when you brush, floss, eat or drink.

Why don’t my aligners cover my molars?
Because we custom-make your aligners to fit your mouth, our goal is to make your aligners the appropriate size and fit to realign your smile while being as unobtrusive as possible. Your aligners should cover at least a third of each molar.

Would my teeth hurt during treatment?
Individuals wearing clear aligners for the first time may experience some tightness initially. This is perfectly normal. It means your aligners are working; moving your teeth into a more desired position! The soreness will ease off in a few days.

What happens if I lose or misplace an aligner?
Do contact us right away so we can advise the next step.
In the mean time, you may wear the previous aligner to ensure your teeth do not shift back to their original position .

How often will I need to visit the dental office during the treatment?
There is no need to! We monitor and review your progress remotely.
DR CLEAR ALIGNER
What happens after my clear aligner treatment is complete?
Protect your new smile! We strongly recommend you safeguard your new smile with our custom-fit retainers.
Without retainers, teeth have a tendency to shift back to their original positions. Keep them from moving back with our custom-fit retainers right after you complete your clear aligners treatment!
DR CLEAR ALIGNER
How do I preserve my new smile after treatment?
Wear your retainers for 22 hours a day (except for eating and drinking) for the first 3 months. After that, you may wear your retainers only while you sleep.
We also recommend replacing your retainers every year for the best care.
