Clear Aligners are a clear aligner that is used to straighten teeth. It is an alternative to metal braces. Clear Aligners are best used for mild to moderate crowding or spacing of the teeth. Clear Aligners are also used to treat overbites, under bites, and cross bites. The treatment plan for each patient is different and is determined by the orthodontist. The average treatment time for Clear Aligners are 9-15 months. Clear Aligners must be worn for 20-22 hours per day in order to be effective. They are removed for eating and drinking and for brushing and flossing. Patients will need to see their orthodontist every 4-6 weeks for a progress check and to get new aligners.
