The main motivation for having braces is to enhance facial attractiveness, but many individuals are unaware that there are additional orthodontic treatment-related issues, such as open bite, jaw structure, crossAligners are transparent mouthguards that are made individually for your teeth and contribute to the correction of their position in the jaw. These mouthguards are made of polycarbonate, which makes them durable and almost invisible on the teeth. And their most important advantage is that aligners can be removed at any time, unlike braces.

And their most important advantage is that aligners can be removed at any time, unlike braces.

To straighten the teeth, several sets of aligners are required, which must be changed at regular intervals. Most often every two weeks. The new set is a small step towards straight teeth. Each aligner is designed to change the position of the teeth. Therefore, their design differs from each other, as a result of which pressure is created, and the teeth begin to “move”. As soon as the teeth are in the position of the aligner, a new set is installed, which will again apply pressure and help the teeth move in the desired direction. The mouthguards also have special retention points (small bulges). Thanks to them, the displacement of the teeth will be faster and more controlled.

It all depends on the curvature degree of your teeth. On average, it will take 8 to 16 sets of aligners to fix crooked teeth. One set needs to be changed every 2 weeks, so it turns out that aligners will need to be worn from 4 to 8 months in relatively simple cases. If situations are difficult, then additional sets of aligners may be required, from 16 to 30 or more, which will require a longer wearing period. The entire treatment plan is discussed individually with the doctor.

Installing aligners on your teeth is as easy as shelling pears. You will need to put the aligners over your teeth and lightly press it down until it clicks. This sound will signal that the aligner is locked and you did everything right. Initially, it will be difficult to put in aligners, but over time the plastic will soften, absorbing liquid, and this process will be much easier.
To take off aligners is pretty easy too. It will be enough for you to slightly pry them with your fingernail and, slowly, carefully remove them from the teeth from both ends. Aligners should only be worn on clean teeth. Therefore, before eating, you will need to remove the aligners, and after completion brush your teeth and put in the aligners back.
