Aligners are transparent, customized wearable trays that are placed on your teeth for perfect teeth alignment. They gradually shift the positioning of the teeth to get the correct placement with the jaw.
How do aligners work?
Throughout the treatment, a number of aligner trays are required to achieve the desired position of the teeth. A set of aligners is manufactured with the help of 3D scans of your teeth and jaws. Each aligner tray applies gentle pressure on your teeth. As a result, physical positions of your teeth change and improve. After each smaller movement is achieved by an aligner, you will move on to the next aligner tray, which will bring further movements. This continues till your teeth are straightened, and your smile is improved.

Differences between braces and aligners-
Post treatment care-
- Don’t forget your retainer! Your retainer will prevent your teeth from shifting back to their previous locations, so it is important to wear it exactly as your orthodontist recommends. It will take a while for your teeth, the ligaments, and tissues of your mouth to get used to their new locations. Your retainer will retain the teeth in your new smile.
- Avoid certain foods. Because your teeth may be sensitive for a bit after your treatment is over, you may want to avoid foods that are too crunchy or chewy. Let your smile rest for a few days to a week before crunching down on those carrot sticks.
- Brush and floss. Brush twice a day and floss regularly to keep your smile healthy.
- Visit your dentist. You should have a regular appointment with your dentist every six months to ensure your beautiful new smile stays healthy and strong.
