Process
How treatment runs
General information. This page explains how a treatment usually works. It is not advice for your teeth: a dentist confirms what is suitable, and what it costs, after examining you.
Questions
Aligner and braces questions
Am I suitable for clear aligners?
Aligners suit many cases of crowding, spacing and mild bite problems in teenagers and adults. Some complex bites move more predictably with braces. The orthodontist decides after taking records: photos, a scan and X-rays.
How many hours a day are aligners worn?
Usually 20 to 22 hours a day. They come out only to eat, to drink anything other than water, and to brush. Aligners left in the case do not move teeth, so wear time drives the result.
Are braces or aligners faster?
Neither is faster by default. Treatment time depends on how far the teeth need to move, and many cases take somewhere between 6 and 18 months either way.
Do I need a retainer afterwards?
Yes. Teeth tend to drift back, so a retainer is part of every plan. Most people wear one every night at first, then a few nights a week for the long term.
Can I start before my wedding?
Often, yes, and aligners are hard to notice in photos. Start as early as you can, ideally nine to twelve months ahead, and mention your date at the consultation.
