What are aligners?

Aligners are clear orthodontic trays that gently and gradually move teeth into their physiologically correct position. They are custom-made based on a 3D scan of the patient’s teeth and replaced every 1-2 weeks for step-by-step bite correction.

Clear teeth aligners for straightening are virtually invisible to others and comfortable to wear. They are easy to remove during meals and brushing, do not irritate the gums or oral mucosa, and are suitable for both adults and teenagers.

Invisible but effective: how do teeth aligners work?

Aligners and braces work on the same principle — they apply pressure to move teeth into the correct alignment. However, aligners work more gently, gradually shifting teeth while minimizing discomfort.

Made from smooth, comfortable material, aligners come as a set. Each new tray differs slightly from the previous one, allowing for a smooth correction of the bite. Aligners are transparent, almost invisible, do not interfere with everyday life, and provide comfortable orthodontic treatment without the pain and hardware associated with traditional braces.

Main Advantages and Disadvantages of Aligners

Aligners are a modern solution for those who want to straighten your teeth without metal braces. They combine aesthetics, comfort, and effectiveness, making the treatment process as convenient as possible for the patient.

Aligners have the following advantages.

However, transparent aligners require high patient discipline — they need to be worn for 20-22 hours a day. Also, treatment depends on the complexity of the case, and aligners may not be suitable for all clinical conditions, especially complex cases.

Indications and Contraindications for Aligner Treatment

Aligners for teeth are recommended for various orthodontic issues, especially when a combination of aesthetics and comfort is important. They effectively address several dental problems.

Orthodontic issues that can be corrected with aligners include:

• Moderate crowding of teeth;
• Gaps between teeth (diastemas and spaces);
• Crossbite, open bite, and deep bite;
• Incorrect position of individual teeth;
• Relapses after previous orthodontic treatment.

However, there are conditions when aligner treatment is contraindicated:

• Severe bite anomalies;
• Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ);
• Acute oral inflammation;
• Tooth mobility (periodontitis);
• Poor oral hygiene or refusal to maintain proper hygiene.

For successful treatment, professional oral hygiene and regular check-up with your dentist are advisable. The treatment typically lasts from 6 to 18 months, with a number of aligners replaced every 1-2 weeks, depending on specific needs and treatment control.

Stages of Aligners Installation

The process of correcting misaligned teeth using aligners at our dental clinic proceeds step-by-step under the supervision of experienced orthodontists:

1. Consultation and Diagnostics. The dentist-orthodontist evaluates oral health, takes intraoral scans, x-rays, and dental impressions to create a personalized treatment plan.

2. Preparation. Oral hygiene is performed as needed, including professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, treatment of gum disease, tooth decay, and other issues.

3. 3D Planning and Production of Aligners. Using CBCT data and dental impressions, a digital model is created where the number of aligners in the set and the sequence of teeth to gradually move are calculated using align technology.

4. Delivery of the Set of Aligners to the Patient. The patient receives the aligners from the treating dentist and is advised to wear them 22 hours daily, switching to the new set every 1-2 weeks on average.

5. Regular Monitoring. The orthodontist performs check-ups every 2-3 months to assess treatment progress and adjust the plan if cases may require it.

6. Completion of Treatment and Retainer Installation. After the final result is achieved, the last aligner is removed, and a retainer or fixing plate is made and installed to stabilize teeth alignment.

Care for Aligners

Maintaining good oral hygiene during the period of using aligners is essential not only for keeping aligners transparent and durable but also for preserving oral health. Improper care can lead to bacterial buildup and unpleasant odor.

Orthodontists recommend the following care guidelines:

• Remove the aligners before brushing your teeth and rinse them with a soft brush and warm running water without abrasive toothpaste.
• Use special disinfectant solutions once every few days.
• Take off the aligners while eating or drinking anything except water.
• Store the aligners in their case when removed to prevent damage.
• Avoid washing the aligners in hot water, as this can deform them.
• Brush your teeth twice a day and floss before putting the aligners back on.

Cost of Treatment with Aligners

The cost of treatment with aligners is calculated individually and depends on several factors: the degree of misaligned teeth, the number of aligners in the course, the duration of correction, and the chosen brand of orthodontic system. You can find out the exact cost of your specific treatment after a consultation with a dentist-orthodontist.
