It can be a challenge for some people to get clear aligners onto the back teeth, especially when they are new to wearing them. It may take some practice and getting used to. To make the process easier, be sure to follow the instructions for insertion and removal. If you continue to have difficulty, don't hesitate to reach out to us for assistance.

After completing your treatment with clear aligners, it is important to wear retainers to maintain the new position of your teeth. For the first six months, you should wear your retainers for 20-22 hours each day. After that, you can switch to wearing them only at night as directed by our experts. If you do not wear your retainers as prescribed, your teeth may shift back to their original position.

Clear aligners apply precise force on the teeth to move them into the desired position, which can cause minor discomfort at the start of treatment. This is normal and should subside within a few days as the mouth adjusts to the aligners. Once you become accustomed to wearing the aligners, they should not be painful.

If the impression tray provided by our care team does not fit properly, please let us know right away, and we will send you new trays.

The smile projection is a 3D treatment plan created by our technical team, showing the position of your teeth before and after treatment with clear aligners. This projection is sent to you for approval before the aligners are fabricated. If you are satisfied with the proposed plan, you can proceed with treatment. If you have any concerns or would like to request modifications, you can do so before fabrication begins.

The impression kit will be shipped to you within 3-4 business days after your purchase.

Whether or not you get a bridge or crown after completing clear aligner treatment is up to you, but we recommend it.

Both clear aligners and night-only aligners can help achieve a perfect smile. The main difference between the two is the amount of time they need to be worn each day. Clear aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours per day, while night-only aligners only need to be worn for 8-10 hours at night while you sleep. The duration of treatment may also vary between the two types of aligners.

Our clear aligners are BPA-free and prescribed by our team of licensed and experienced experts. They are generally safe to use during pregnancy, so if you are already in the process of straightening your teeth or planning to start treatment, you can do so without worrying about any potential effects on your unborn child.

Our clear aligners are of the highest quality and more affordable than other options on the market. They are customized, handcrafted, and trimmed to fit snugly against the gum line, making them comfortable to wear.

To clean your clear aligners, you can rinse them under a running tap or soak them in tap water, then gently brush them with a soft-bristled toothbrush.

Clear aligners are designed to gradually move the teeth into the desired position by applying gentle pressure. They are custom-fitted to fit over the teeth and must be worn for at least 22 hours per day, only being removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. As they are worn, the aligners will exert pressure on the teeth, slowly shifting them into place.

The duration of treatment with clear aligners can vary depending on the complexity of the case, but on average, patients typically wear them for 4-6 months.

Each set of clear aligners should be worn for a period of 10 days.

It is important to avoid eating or drinking anything other than water while wearing clear aligners, as doing so may damage the aligners. Our team of experts strongly advises against consuming hot or cold beverages while wearing the aligners.

They are a popular alternative to traditional metal braces because they are less noticeable, comfortable to wear, and significantly cheaper than braces.
