Understanding
Invisible Orthodontics

Invisible aligners are custom-made, transparent plastic trays designed to gradually straighten teeth without traditional metal braces. Using sophisticated 3D imaging, orthodontists create a personalized treatment plan, crafting a sequence of aligners tailored to fit your teeth at each phase of the process.

These aligners work by applying gentle, controlled pressure to shift teeth incrementally. Each aligner is worn for approximately two weeks before switching to the next in the series, continuing until the teeth reach their desired alignment. Treatment duration varies based on individual needs.

Treatment length depends on the complexity of your case, including factors like tooth or jaw misalignment, bite shape, and the extent of correction needed. Typically, treatment ranges from 6 to 18 months.

Invisible aligners are crafted from BPA-free, medical-grade polyurethane resins (USP Class VI), ensuring safety and durability for oral use.

The main benefits include: nearly invisible appearance for discretion, comfortable wear with smooth edges, removability for eating and cleaning, and the ability to maintain normal oral hygiene routines.

Clean your aligners by: rinsing with lukewarm water when removed, using a specialized cleaning solution, brushing gently with a soft toothbrush and clear soap, and always brushing your teeth before reinserting them.

Yes, aligners can be removed during sports or while playing instruments, especially wind instruments. However, they must be worn for 20-22 hours daily, and a protective mouthguard is recommended during physical activities.

Contact your orthodontist immediately. They may advise using the previous or next aligner temporarily while a replacement is ordered, ensuring treatment stays on track.
