Dr.Nechupadam Dental’s Clear Aligners

Clear Aligners are an alternative to traditional braces and are designed to help guide teeth into their proper position.  Similar to braces, clear aligners use a gradual force to control tooth movement, but without metal wires or brackets.  The aligners are made of a strong plastic material and are fabricated to fit each person’s mouth. If a series of aligners are made, each aligner moves the teeth a little bit more into place until the desired movement is completed.

Aligners are worn for at least 20 hours a day to reach the desired maximum effectiveness.  Each aligner is worn for three weeks before changing to the next one.  The length of treatment with aligners depends upon the severity of each case.  Typically, aligner treatment can be as short as three months or as long as sixteen months.
