A clear patient guide
How do clear aligners work?
After examination and appropriate diagnostic records, a series of trays is planned to produce specific tooth movements. Some cases may also need attachments or additional auxiliaries.
Their discreet appearance and removability do not automatically make aligners suitable for every patient. Appliance choice depends on the required movements, bite and jaw relationships, and the patient’s ability to comply.
Easier cleaning
The trays can be removed for brushing and flossing, then reinserted as instructed.
Daily commitment
Results depend greatly on wear time and orderly progression through the tray sequence.

Frequently asked questions
General educational answers. A direct clinical assessment remains essential for choosing the right appliance and treatment duration.
What are clear aligners?
They are a series of removable transparent trays designed from a digital treatment plan to move teeth in stages. Consistent wear and orthodontic follow-up are essential.
How many hours should I wear them each day?
Follow your individual plan. In many plans, wearing aligners for about 20–22 hours a day is important, removing them only for eating, drinking, and cleaning.
Are clear aligners suitable for every case?
No. They can treat many conditions, but some tooth movements, bite problems, or jaw discrepancies may require another approach or additional appliances.
Can I eat while wearing aligners?
Aligners are usually removed for food and for drinks other than water. Clean your teeth or rinse well before reinserting them.
How should I clean my aligners?
Rinse them with cool or lukewarm water and clean gently with a soft dedicated brush. Avoid hot water and abrasive products that can affect their fit and clarity.
What if an aligner is lost or damaged?
Contact the clinic before moving to another tray. Depending on the treatment stage and fit, you may be advised to wear the previous or next tray temporarily.
