What to Know Before Starting Clear Aligners

Clear aligner treatment is increasingly popular among adults because it is invisible and removable. To get a good result, though, it helps to know in advance how the process works.

Consistent wear is essential

Aligners are taken out only for eating and cleaning your teeth. Following the daily wear time your dentist recommends keeps the treatment on track.

Questions you can ask before you start

• Is my case suitable for clear aligners?
• What is the estimated treatment time and how often are the check-ups?
• Will I need a retainer after treatment?
• What should I do if I lose or break an aligner?

In summary

Every mouth is different, so the treatment plan and duration are set individually. You can get detailed information at your first examination.
