Clear Aligners

At ArtLife Dental Studio, we understand the importance of a straight, confident smile. That’s why we’re thrilled to offer clear aligner therapy, aka Invisalign, as a discreet and effective solution for orthodontic treatment. Our clear aligner treatment utilises cutting-edge technology to straighten teeth gradually, without the need for traditional braces. 

Clear aligners are generally more comfortable than traditional braces, but you may experience some discomfort, especially when wearing a new set of aligners. This discomfort usually subsides within a few days as your teeth adjust to the new aligners. If the pain persists, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol.

The duration of clear aligner treatment varies depending on the complexity of your orthodontic issues. You can book a FREE CONSULTATION with us for a better estimate of treatment duration.

Importance Of Clear Aligners:

Invisalign, also known as clear aligners, are custom-made plastic trays that gradually move teeth into the correct position. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners do not involve metal and are practically invisible during use. Each set of aligners is worn for a specified period, causing teeth to shift incrementally until the desired alignment is achieved. Clear aligners differ from old-fashioned metal-and-wire braces as they are removable and nearly invisible. This makes them a more comfortable and visually appealing option for orthodontic treatment. Patients can enjoy a more aesthetic experience without compromising on the effectiveness of the treatment. Invisalign can be tailored to correct various orthodontic conditions, including crowded or twisted teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Whether you are a candidate for clear aligner treatment depends on the severity of your orthodontic condition. 

FAQs

For optimal results, clear aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day. They should only be removed when eating, drinking (except water), brushing your teeth, and flossing. Adhering to this schedule is crucial for achieving the best outcomes from your treatment. 

To maintain the clarity and hygiene of your clear aligners, rinse them in lukewarm water. This helps remove bacteria from saliva and food particles. Avoid using hot water, as it can deform the plastic material. Gently brush your aligners with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or clear antibacterial soap.

Yes, after completing clear aligner treatment, it is essential to wear retainers to prevent your teeth from shifting back to their previous positions. Your orthodontist will provide you with a retainer and instructions on how often to wear it to maintain the results.
