How do clear aligners work?

Clear aligners use a series of custom-made, removable trays that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for about 1-2 weeks before moving to the next set in the series.

How long does treatment take?

Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case. Most patients achieve their desired results within 6-18 months. We'll give you a personalised timeline during your consultation.

Are clear aligners painful?

You may feel some pressure or mild discomfort when starting a new set of aligners, but this typically subsides within a few days. Most patients find aligners much more comfortable than traditional braces.

How often do I need to wear my aligners?

For best results, you should wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day. You only remove them for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing your teeth.

Can I eat and drink with aligners in?

You should remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining and damage to the aligners. Always brush your teeth before putting them back in.

How do aligners compare to traditional braces?

Clear aligners are nearly invisible, removable, and generally more comfortable than traditional braces. They're ideal for mild to moderate orthodontic issues. For more complex cases, fixed braces may be recommended.
