Your Clear Aligner Questions Answered: Everything You Need to Know! Part 2
If you’re considering clear aligners to straighten your teeth, you probably have a few questions—maybe even a lot! That’s totally normal. At Evergreen Dentistry, we believe in making your smile transformation as easy and stress-free as possible. That’s why we’ve compiled this handy FAQ guide to help you understand how ClearCorrect aligners work and what to expect throughout your journey.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a virtually invisible way to straighten teeth without the brackets and wires of traditional braces. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, a series of custom-made aligners will gently move your teeth into the perfect position, one step at a time. Each aligner is worn for 1–2 weeks before switching to the next, gradually shifting your teeth.
What Are the Benefits of Clear Aligners?
✅ Nearly invisible – No one will even notice you're wearing them!
✅ Removable – Eat, drink, brush, and floss as normal.
✅ Comfortable – No metal brackets or wires.
✅ Custom-made for you – Designed for your unique smile.
How Long Will My Treatment Take?
The duration of treatment varies based on the complexity of your case. However, most people can expect treatment to last between 3 and 18 months, similar to traditional braces. Your dentist will give you a clearer timeline based on your personal treatment plan.
Can Clear Aligners Close Gaps in My Teeth?
Yes! If you have small gaps between your teeth, clear aligners can help close spaces effectively. Your dentist will assess whether aligners are the right option for your specific case.
Will This Work on My Overbite?
In many cases, ClearCorrect aligners can help correct overbites. However, it depends on the severity of your bite. Your dentist will assess your case and advise whether clear aligners or another orthodontic treatment would be best for you.
Will It Be Painful?
Most patients experience mild discomfort for the first few days when switching to a new aligner. This is completely normal and a sign that your teeth are moving into their new positions. Any discomfort should fade within a couple of days.
Will My Teeth Be Ready for a Special Occasion?
If you have a wedding, graduation, or other big event coming up, clear aligners can help you achieve a stunning smile. Treatment length depends on your specific case, so it’s always best to start early. Your dentist can also advise you on what to expect if you’re mid-treatment during your event.
