Straight Teeth and More

Clear aligners are transparent, removable orthodontic appliances that gradually move teeth into their desired positions. They offer a discreet and convenient alternative to traditional braces.

Clear aligners use gentle, controlled forces to shift teeth into alignment over time. You will wear a series of custom-made aligners, changing them every few weeks as your teeth progress.

Clear aligners can address a wide range of orthodontic issues, but it's best to consult with an orthodontist to determine if they are the right choice for your specific case.

In concept and fabrication process, Invisalign and SmyleAlign are very similar and comparable. The main difference lies in the affordability of SmyleAlign, making it a more cost-effective option for patients.

Clear aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day for optimal results. You can remove them while eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.

Clear aligners are generally more comfortable than traditional braces. You may experience some initial discomfort or pressure during the adjustment period, but it should subside within a few days.

Your orthodontist will provide a specific timeline for changing your aligners, typically every one to two weeks. Following this schedule is crucial to ensure the desired tooth movement.

It is recommended to remove your clear aligners while eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining and damage to the aligners.

Clear aligners should be cleaned daily using a soft-bristle toothbrush and clear aligner cleaning crystals or a non-abrasive denture cleaner. Avoid using toothpaste, as it can scratch the aligners.

The duration of clear aligner treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. On average, treatment can range from several months to over a year. Your orthodontist will provide a personalized timeline during your consultation.
