Frequently Asked Questions About Clear Aligners for Teens
Clear aligners are thin, removable orthodontic trays custom-made to fit over the teeth. Each set applies controlled pressure to gradually move the teeth toward their planned positions without the brackets and wires used with traditional braces.
No. Clear aligners can treat many cases involving crooked teeth, crowding, spacing and certain bite problems, but they may not be appropriate for every orthodontic condition. Treatment also requires enough responsibility to wear and care for the trays consistently. An orthodontic evaluation is needed to determine whether aligners or braces are the better option.
Most clear aligner systems require approximately 20 to 22 hours of daily wear. The trays should generally be removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. Wearing them less than directed can slow tooth movement and extend treatment.
Aligners should be removed before eating and before drinking anything other than plain water. Because the trays are removable, there are generally no special food restrictions; however, teeth should be cleaned before the aligners are placed back into the mouth. The trays should be stored in their protective case during meals.
Treatment time varies according to the complexity of the orthodontic problem, the movements required, growth and how consistently the aligners are worn. Clear aligners are not automatically faster than braces. After evaluating your teen, the orthodontist will provide an individualized treatment estimate.
Yes. Retainers are normally prescribed after active orthodontic treatment to help keep the teeth in their corrected positions. Teeth can naturally shift over time, so the retainer must be worn according to the orthodontist’s instructions to maintain the results.
