Clear aligners are clear, thin, plastic-like trays, customized for every individual patient. The complete set of aligners are generated containing particular number of pairs of trays according to software results. The number of aligners needed to correct misaligned teeth varies based on the individual’s orthodontic problem and its correction.
Maintenance of clear aligners
Every pair of aligners are worn for 1-2 week at a time, and moves teeth gradually. Patients are responsible for putting in and removing their aligners. Patients must remove aligners for meals and when brushing/flossing.
