Clear aligners are removable trays designed to move teeth in planned stages. They can be an option for some alignment concerns, but they are not the right choice for every tooth position or bite.
Treatment starts with an examination and a conversation about your goals. Your dentist will assess your teeth and gums, explain suitable options, and outline what the plan may involve before you decide.
If aligners are recommended, they need to be worn as directed and reviewed at planned visits. You remove them for meals and clean your teeth before putting them back in. Your dentist will explain care instructions for your particular plan.
Treatment length and results vary. Ask about alternatives, expected review visits, retention after treatment, and what to do if an aligner feels damaged or does not fit as expected.
