What are clear braces?
Clear braces, also referred to as invisible braces, removable braces, invisible aligners, or clear aligners, are custom-made transparent plastic trays designed to snugly fit your teeth. They gently shift teeth to their desired positions over several months.
Clear aligners were introduced to the world at large in the 1990s and have evolved from a device similar to a mouthguard. Their popularity has seen a steady increase but has skyrocketed in the past decade after the introduction of at-home teeth straightening plans.
What Do Removable Braces Do?
Clear braces align teeth into their desired positions. ALIGNERCO braces can address dental malocclusions and misalignment cases like overbite, underbite, spacing, and crowding. Clear braces do what most metal braces do but with added discretion and gentleness.
How Are Clear Braces Made:
Every set of clear braces is tailor-made to fit your teeth. At Alignerco, clear braces are fabricated from high-grade, BPA-free plastic, designed from your dental mold created by our experts.
Here are the six steps you take with Alingerco clear braces toward a straight smile.
1. Impressions
Start your journey by ordering an at-home impression kit. Follow the provided instructions to create impressions of your teeth and send them back to us.
2. Treatment Plan
On receiving your impressions, our experts using advanced computer algorithms, will create your before and after virtual 3D smile displays. This helps map the stages of your teeth straightening journey. A Spain-trained and licensed Orthodontist reviews every treatment plan.
3. Braces Construction
Once you agree to your treatment plan, our experts get busy curating your custom removable braces according to your day or night plan.
4. Seamless Delivery
Your aligners are delivered to your doorstep within a few weeks. Follow the instructions provided closely to start straightening your teeth.
5. Straightening Begins
Each aligner is numbered and made subtly different from its predecessor to move your teeth gently to their desired position. You will change your aligner trays every 10 days for the next few months.
6. Retaining Your Smile
After achieving your ideal smile, retainers are essential to prevent teeth from shifting back.
Enjoy complimentary retainers with our clear braces plan to ensure long-lasting results.
How Will Clear Aligners Look On Your Teeth?
In most cases, it is difficult to tell if you have any clear braces on at all. Unless someone looks very closely or you mention them, they're practically undetectable
How Do They Feel?
They take a little getting used to in the first two days. When compared to braces, customers report significantly less painful experiences. However every case is different and while mild cases may fix seamlessly, severe cases may experience discomfort with each new set.
How Long Do Clear Braces Take?
Depending on the severity and complexity of your case, and your package plan (day or night), a case on average may take from 4 to 6 months.
At the end of your straightening plan, you will be provided with retainers for a prescribed period, to avoid the natural shifting back of teeth to their original position. You will find more on retainers here.
How To Clean Clear Braces?
They must be cleaned daily (just like your teeth). Use warm water with a soft bristle brush, and a mild scent-free soap if needed.
