Do clear aligners work?

Compared to traditional fixed braces, clear orthodontic aligners seem miraculous in many ways, almost too good to be true. Suppose you’re wondering if they work. The answer is yes — but they are not for everyone.

What are clear aligners, and how do they work?

Clear orthodontic aligners are a removable alternative to traditional braces. The aligners move your teeth and transform your smile without too much interference with your daily life. They are removable trays made of a transparent, almost invisible plastic material.

A sequence of slightly different trays is custom-made when using aligners to fit over your teeth. Each must be worn for at least 20 hours a day for two weeks before changing to the next aligner. Your treatment plan is digitally generated and designed by state-of-the-art techniques based on models and images of your teeth. They work because slight changes in the sequential aligners gradually move your teeth. If worn consistently, the process can take as little as six months!

Advantages of clear aligners

• The aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, flossing and social occasions.
• They have no rough edges or wires, making them more comfortable.
• Changes become visible quickly as your teeth move into their new, better positions.
