What is Clear Aligner

What is Clear Aligner ?

Clear Aligner (Invisalign) is a way to get straight teeth without months of metal braces. Custom made using BPA-free thermoplastic and 3D imaging technology, Clear Aligner (Invisalign) aligners adjust the position of your teeth over the course of 6-18 months.

Over this period, you’ll change your aligner roughly every two weeks. Each aligner has a different shape, which means your teeth are gently moved as the months go by. You’ll visit us every Four to eight weeks, so we can check everything is going well, and to get your next set of aligners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Invisalign suitable for everyone?
Invisalign is a high regarded brand of clear aligners specifically designed to gradually align and straighten your teeth. Clear aligners are a versatile treatment that can help correct a range of dental issues, from simple to complex. Invisalign is suitable for both teenagers and adults, but it’s worth noting that its effectiveness can depend on the individual’s specific dental needs. Situations such as severe misalignment, certain bite issues or complex rotational movements may require traditional orthodontic methods. Always consult a dentist to discuss suitable options for your situation.
How often should I wear Invisalign clear aligners?
For optimal results, your Invisalign clear aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. They can be removed when eating, drinking, brushing and flossing, but should otherwise stay in your mouth. Wearing the aligners consistently is important to maintain the planned progression of your tooth movement and keep your treatment on schedule.
Are Invisalign clear aligners comfortable to wear?
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign clear aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth, minimising discomfort. While there might be a little pressure and a slight feeling of unfamiliarity when you first begin a new set of aligners, this typically subsides in a couple of days as your mouth adjusts.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
People may notice a slight difference in their speech when they first start wearing Invisalign aligners, pronouncing certain words with a mild lisp. This is typically temporary and subsides once the mouth adjusts to the new appliance, which usually takes a few days.
Are there any dietary restrictions during Invisalign treatment?
One of the greatest benefits of Invisalign is that there are no dietary restrictions. Because the aligners are removable, you can continue to enjoy all your favourite foods and beverages. Just remember to clean your teeth and your aligners before reinserting them after eating or drinking anything besides water.
Can I still brush and floss my teeth normally with Invisalign?
Absolutely! In fact, maintaining an oral hygiene routine is important during Invisalign treatment. You can brush and floss your teeth normally. Simply remove the aligners, carry out your dental hygiene routine, rinse the aligners and then place them back in your mouth.
Will I wear retainers after the Invisalign treatment?
Yes, after completing your Invisalign treatment, your dentist may recommend a retainer to keep your teeth in their new position. Retainers prevent your teeth from slowly shifting back to their previous positions. The usage time can vary, and your dentist will provide guidance based on your individual needs.
Can I drink hot beverages while wearing my Invisalign clear aligners?
Drinking hot beverages such as tea or coffee while wearing your Invisalign aligners is not advised. The heat can warp and damage the aligners, altering their shape and potentially hindering your treatment. Always remove your aligners before consuming any food or drink other than water.
How do I clean my clear aligners?
Cleaning your clear aligners is an important part of your oral hygiene routine. Aligners can be cleaned using a soft toothbrush. Avoid using toothpaste or scented soaps, as these can discolour and leave a residue on the aligners. After brushing, rinse the aligners with lukewarm water. Never use hot water, as it can warp the plastic. Book an appointment with our dentist for more information.
