Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look and feel of traditional metal braces. Here’s what Dr. Asim Jamal wants you to know before starting treatment.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, transparent plastic trays that gradually shift your teeth into position. Each set is worn for one to two weeks before moving on to the next in the series.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Clear aligners work well for mild to moderate crowding, gaps, and bite issues. They’re a popular choice for teens and adults who want straighter teeth without visible metal brackets.
Benefits Over Traditional Braces
Aligners are removable, making brushing, flossing, and eating far more convenient. They’re also virtually invisible, more comfortable against the gums and cheeks, and require fewer in-clinic adjustment visits.
Caring for Your Aligners
Wear them for at least 20-22 hours a day for best results, remove them only to eat and brush, and clean them daily to keep them clear and odor-free.
