Frequently Asked Questions
What are clear aligners?
Clear aligners are virtually invisible, removable orthodontic devices used to adjust and align teeth. They offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces, using a series of custom-made, plastic trays to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position.
How do clear aligners work?
Clear aligners work by applying controlled force to your teeth, similar to braces, but without metal wires or brackets. Each set of aligners is slightly different, moving your teeth incrementally. You'll wear each set for about two weeks before moving on to the next in the series.
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
The duration of clear aligner treatment varies depending on the individual's needs and the complexity of their case. On average, treatment can take anywhere from 6 to 24 months, but many patients start seeing results in just a few weeks.
Are clear aligners painful?
While clear aligners may cause some discomfort or pressure when a new set is first worn, they are generally considered less painful than traditional braces. Any discomfort typically subsides after a few days as your mouth adjusts to the new aligners.
Can I eat with clear aligners in?
No, you should remove your clear aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents damage to the aligners and maintains oral hygiene. Always brush your teeth before reinserting your aligners.
How often do I need to wear my clear aligners?
For the best results, clear aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing.
Will clear aligners affect my speech?
Some people may notice a slight lisp when they first start wearing clear aligners. However, this usually disappears as you become accustomed to wearing them.
Are clear aligners suitable for everyone?
Clear aligners are suitable for most teens and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including crowding, gaps, and certain bite misalignments. A consultation with Dr. Schennel Pollard can determine if clear aligners are the right choice for you.
How do I care for my clear aligners?
Clear aligners should be cleaned regularly with a soft-bristle toothbrush and lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. It's also important to maintain good oral hygiene to keep your aligners clean.
What happens after my clear aligner treatment is complete?
After completing clear aligner treatment, you will likely need to wear a retainer to maintain your new tooth alignment. Dr. Schennel will discuss the best retainer option for you, ensuring your beautiful smile lasts a lifetime.
How much do clear aligners cost, and is the cost covered by insurance?
The cost of clear aligner treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and the duration of treatment. Many dental insurance plans offer coverage for orthodontic treatments, including clear aligners. Noble Dental also provides financing options to make treatment accessible.
