Clear aligners are a new and advanced technology in the field of orthodontics.

In this type of treatment, a set of clear aligners that are almost invisible are used to provide the necessary force to move the teeth into their correct place and correct their alignment.

The aligner is replaced approximately every two weeks in order to gradually move the teeth to their intended position in the treatment plan.
You will feel some discomfort in the first few days after replacing the pavement, but this discomfort will go away automatically. ,


Can I remove the aligner when I go to work?
No! In order to get the desired result from the treatment, you must wear the aligner 22 hours a day and remove it only when eating.
Wearing the aligner for less than this time will result in the aligner not expressing the programmed information inside it and thus you will not get the required movement.



What are the advantages of clear aligners compared to fixed braces?

- The first advantage is the cosmetic aspect as the aligners are transparent and most people will not notice that you are wearing them.

- In terms of oral health, both types of orthodontic treatment require good oral care procedures and commitment to tooth brushing.
But since clear aligners can be removed when brushing and there are no wires or brackets attached to the teeth, oral care procedures are easier when treated with clear aligners than with fixed braces.

- Your in-clinic sessions are shorter when treated with aligners.
The session's work is limited to ensuring that the treatment is proceeding in the correct direction, replacing the pavers, and some simple IPR procedures.


What are the steps to perform clear aligners?

If clear aligners are suitable for your case, we will first take measurements of your teeth and take x-rays, then study the case and choose the most appropriate treatment plan for your case.
Then we make your custom aligners and start curing.


Finally: We remind you that treatment with clear aligners depends on your commitment and cooperation in wearing the aligner and following the instructions required of you, otherwise you will not get the desired result from the treatment.

You should also avoid drinking colored drinks while wearing your aligners because colored liquids can settle between the aligners and your teeth, causing stains on your teeth. You will need to remove your clear aligners before drinking colored drinks.


Need for additional sets of aligners:

Clear aligners are designed digitally by computer, but in some cases your teeth do not respond to the programmed movements of the aligner as desired.
When such cases occur, we need to add a few aligners at the end of the treatment to get the desired result.
Will I need retainers after clear aligners treatment are finished?

Answer: Yes, after performing braces, whether fixed or Clear aligners, and removing the force applied to the teeth, the periodontal ligaments try to return the tooth to its place before treatment.
To prevent this from happening, we need to use retainers to give these ligaments enough time to reorganize themselves and prevent unwanted tooth movements.

Retainers are usually transparent devices or fixed wires that are attached to the inside of the teeth and are invisible and not annoying to the patient.
