Description

Aligner dental treatment is a type of orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear plastic aligners to gradually straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces, aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating and cleaning, making them a popular choice for many people. The aligner treatment process typically begins with a consultation with an orthodontist or dentist who will evaluate your teeth and determine if aligner treatment is right for you. If so, they will take impressions and create a customized treatment plan using advanced computer software. The software will create a series of aligners, each slightly different than the previous one, that will be worn for a specific amount of time before being replaced with the next one in the series. Patients typically wear each set of aligners for two weeks, for a total of 20-22 hours per day, and will visit their orthodontist or dentist every six to eight weeks to monitor progress and receive new aligners. The length of treatment varies depending on the severity of the patient's orthodontic issues, but most treatments last between 6-18 months. Aligner treatment can be used to correct a variety of issues, including crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, and bite problems. Overall, aligner treatment can provide a discreet and effective way to straighten teeth and improve overall oral health.
