What the video covers
- Here's what to expect with clear aligners.
- Clear aligners are a nearly invisible way to straighten your teeth. They can fix crowding, gaps, and many bite problems.
- First, a digital scan maps your teeth, and we plan every movement. You may even get to preview your new smile before you begin.
- Next, you'll receive a series of custom clear trays. Each one moves your teeth a little at a time.
- For the best results, wear your trays twenty to twenty-two hours a day. Take them out only to eat, and to drink anything other than water.
- Every week or two, you'll switch to the next set of trays, and we'll check your progress along the way.
- Treatment time varies. Many cases take about a year, and simpler ones can be faster.
- When you're done, a retainer keeps your teeth in their new position. Brush before putting your trays back in, clean them every day, and wear your retainer as directed.
- If you have any questions along the way, just ask. Your dental team is always happy to help.
