How Can I Straighten My Teeth with Clear Aligners (Invisible Braces)?

I’m Interested in Clear Aligners (Invisible Braces); What Happens Now?
Your journey to a straighter smile begins with an evaluation and consultation at Merrimack Smiles. During this visit, our doctors will discuss your smile goals and assess your dental health. We will use a digital 3D scan, X-rays, and photos of your current smile to determine if clear aligner therapy is right for you.
Once we confirm that clear aligner therapy suits your needs, we will create a detailed digital treatment plan. This plan will illustrate how we intend to align your teeth, outlining the number of aligner trays you will need and the duration of wear for each.
Are Clear Aligners (Invisible Braces) an Option for My Teeth?
You can effectively address various alignment concerns with clear aligners, making them a great option for esthetic improvements and mild to moderate corrections, including:
- Crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Crooked or rotated teeth
- Open bite
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
How Do Clear Aligners (Invisible Braces) Straighten My Teeth?
As you wear your clear aligners, they apply gentle pressure to your teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position. You will progress through a series of aligners, each designed to make slight adjustments.
You may experience some discomfort as your mouth adjusts to each new aligner. The number of aligners needed, and the length of treatment will depend on your specific needs. Generally, you should wear the aligners for at least 22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, brushing, and cleaning. Consistent wear is essential for your treatment’s success.
Once you complete your series of aligners, we will provide you with a retainer tray to wear overnight, helping you maintain your teeth’s alignment and preserve your new smile.
What Happens If I Lose or Don’t Wear My Retainer?
If you don’t wear your retainer as instructed, your teeth may begin to shift back toward their original positions, potentially undoing the progress you made during your treatment. If you lose your retainer, contact our office quickly to replace it and avoid unwanted movement of your teeth.
