Clear aligners are one approach to moving teeth. They can be convenient for some people, but treatment still needs a diagnosis, a plan and follow-up with a qualified dental professional.

What are clear aligners?

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, removable trays that apply controlled pressure to move teeth gradually. Each set is worn according to an individual treatment plan. They are different from fixed braces because they can be taken out.

Are aligners suitable for everyone?

No. Suitability depends on the position of your teeth, bite, oral health and treatment goals. Some movements may be better managed with other orthodontic approaches. A professional examination helps identify the options and any issues that should be addressed before treatment.

What does treatment involve?

Your dentist or orthodontic professional assesses your teeth and plans the intended movement. During treatment you change trays and attend reviews as advised. The number of trays and overall time vary; a clinician can give an estimate only after assessing your case.

Follow-up matters because teeth may not move exactly as planned and the treatment may need adjustments.

How do I look after aligners and my teeth?

Aligners are generally removed to eat and to clean your teeth. Keep up with brushing, flossing and any cleaning instructions for the trays. Ask your clinician how long to wear them each day and what to do if a tray is lost, damaged or does not fit properly.

What should I ask at a consultation?

  • What are my treatment options, including alternatives to aligners?
  • How will my bite and oral health be assessed?
  • How often will I need reviews?
  • What care is needed after tooth movement is complete?
