What are dental aligners and how do they work?
Teeth straightening is an orthodontic procedure that allows for the gradual movement of teeth into the desired position. Orthodontic aligners are transparent, removable, and custom-made for each patient, taking into account their dental anatomy and needs. Unlike traditional braces, aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed while eating. This method is particularly suitable for adults and teenagers who want a discreet teeth straightening solution that does not interfere with daily activities and professional life.
Using precisely calculated pressure on the teeth, aligners gradually move them in the desired direction. Each set of aligners is designed to move the teeth a specific distance in the correct direction, according to the correction plan. Typically, patients change aligners every one to two weeks, and each new set continues the straightening process. The duration of treatment depends on the complexity of the initial dental condition and can last from a few months to two years, depending on the individual situation and the required amount of correction.
