Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Aligners.

Clear aligners gradually shift your teeth into the desired position using controlled pressure, switching to new trays every few weeks.

Most patients complete their treatment with clear aligners in 6 months to 2 years, depending on individual needs.

No, you should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything except water to prevent damage and staining.

While effective for many, severe orthodontic cases may require traditional braces. A consultation will determine the best option.

Rinse your aligners and clean them with a soft toothbrush. Avoid hot water, as it can warp the plastic.

Some discomfort is normal as your teeth shift, but it is typically mild and short-lived, especially after switching aligners.
