Can I do clear aligners?

To find out if you are able to do clear invisible aligners, you must first schedule a consultation with our dentists. Our senior dentist Dr. Justin provides consultation for MBrace and ClearSmile. Our in house visiting orthodontist provides Invisalign. There is a consultation fee to see our orthodontist.

What should I expect during my invisible aligners treatment?

If the invisible aligners system is right for you, your treatment will begin with impressions and imaging of your teeth. This orthodontic records will be sent to the lab to provide a treatment plan on how many sets of aligners are required to slowly move your teeth into alignment. Once you are happy with the treatment plan, the relevant company will produce the series of aligners required to achieve your beautiful smile. You will have to be very disciplined and wear these aligners at all times during the day and night even while you are sleeping, and only take them off when you are eating, brushing and flossing your teeth. Each set of aligners will need to be worn for usually 2 weeks before changing to the next set. From time to time you will need to come back in to allow our dentist to monitor your progress.

Anything I need to do when treatment is completed?

Once your treatment is completed, you will no longer need to wear the aligners but you will need to wear a retainer. Retainers are removable oral appliances designed to help retain the new position of your teeth and prevent them from moving back to their prior position.

Must I really wear retainers?

Yes. Patients are required to wear retainers at least 22 hours for the first 6 months after treatment completion and wear it to sleep for the next 2 years. We would highly recommend patients to wear retainers for as long as they want their teeth to be straight.

A study has been done on a patient who has worn her retainer diligently for 10 years. They had her to stop wearing a retainer for a month and her teeth started shifting again. This is due to the fact that our teeth ligaments try to shift itself back to its natural position.
