The duration of aligner treatment varies based on factors such as the complexity of your case and your adherence to wearing the aligners as prescribed. Generally, treatment can range from several months to a few years. During your initial consultation, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan and provide you with a timeline tailored to your specific goals.
Aligners are typically recommended for adults and older teenagers who have fully developed teeth and jaws. While aligner therapy may also be suitable for some younger patients, it's essential to consult with our team to determine the best course of treatment for your individual needs.
Discomfort associated with aligners is typically mild and temporary, occurring primarily when you first start wearing them or switch to a new set. This sensation is indicative of the aligners gently shifting your teeth into alignment. If discomfort persists, over-the-counter pain relievers and orthodontic wax can offer relief. Rest assured, our team will equip you with strategies to ensure your aligner treatment is as comfortable as possible.
