Frequently Asked Questions About Clear Aligners

Are clear aligners as effective as braces?
For mild to moderate cases, clear aligners are equally effective. For complex cases (severe crowding, significant bite issues), traditional braces may be more suitable.
How many hours a day should I wear aligners?
Clear aligners must be worn 20–22 hours per day for optimal results. Remove them only for eating, drinking (anything other than water), and brushing.
Can anyone get clear aligners?
Most adults and teens with mild to moderate alignment issues are candidates. A consultation with an orthodontist will determine if aligners are suitable for your specific case.
