Straight teeth without braces - with invisible aligners

Aligners are clear, nearly invisible, removable for eating and easier to care for. Visits are rare - every 3-4 months. Self-discipline matters most, as the patient is responsible for wearing the aligners.

The duration is similar - on average 6-18 months, depending on the case. In complex cases aligners may be combined with elastics or mini-implants.

Yes, the aligners are clear and fit well. With proper care others will not notice them. They may become visible only if not cleaned properly or if you forget to remove them when drinking staining beverages.

At least 22 hours a day. They may be removed only for eating, drinking hot or staining beverages, and brushing. The rest of the time they must stay in the mouth without breaks.

For the first 1-2 weeks a slight change in speech is possible. After the adaptation period this effect disappears or stays minimal.

The treatment is not painful. In the first days after changing aligners a mild tightening of the teeth is possible - a normal sensation that passes within 2-3 days.

Yes. In simple cases the doctor may prescribe treatment for one jaw arch only - which costs less.

Inform your doctor immediately and temporarily wear your last set (up to 2 weeks). The doctor will order a new set and treatment will continue.

Yes, most stages can be done remotely. In-person visits are needed only for the initial examinations, collecting the aligners and check-ups every 3-4 months. You can take the aligners with you.

After treatment the result is secured with retention - a wire bonded to the inner side of the teeth and/or a night-time retainer. This keeps the teeth from returning to their original position.
