What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a modern orthodontic solution designed to straighten teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. These custom-made, transparent trays fit over your teeth and gradually shift them into their correct positions. Clear aligners have revolutionized orthodontics by providing a nearly invisible option for teeth straightening. Over the years, they have become increasingly popular among teens and adults due to their comfort, flexibility, and subtle appearance. By opting for our Metuchen clear aligners, you can achieve a beautifully aligned smile while maintaining your confidence throughout the treatment process. Clear aligners are particularly suited for patients who want a more discreet alternative to traditional braces.

How Do Clear Aligners Work?

Clear aligners work by applying gentle, controlled pressure to your teeth, gradually guiding them into proper alignment. The process starts with an initial consultation, where Dr. Lai takes digital impressions and x-rays to create a 3D model of your teeth. Using this model, a custom treatment plan is developed, and a series of aligners are made specifically for your teeth.

Each set of aligners is worn for about one to two weeks before being replaced with the next set in the series, continuing the gradual movement of your teeth. For optimal results, aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day, removed only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Regular check-ups with Dr. Lai will monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments. The length of treatment varies depending on individual cases, but most patients complete their clear aligner treatment within 12 to 18 months. This innovative approach allows for a comfortable and convenient orthodontic experience, without the need for brackets and wires.
