Clear aligners in Neutral Bay, NSW, use custom-made, removable trays to gradually guide your teeth into improved alignment. Each aligner applies gentle pressure to specific teeth based on your personalised treatment plan. As your teeth move, you'll progress through a series of aligners, usually changing to a new set every one to two weeks or as recommended by your dentist.
Before treatment begins, your dentist assesses your smile and takes digital scans or impressions to create a customised treatment plan. These records help map out each stage of your clear aligner journey. Regular appointments allow your dentist to monitor your progress, check your aligner fit and answer any questions along the way.
For the best outcome, clear aligners should be worn for around 20 to 22 hours each day. You can remove them when eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing and flossing. Following your dentist's instructions helps support consistent progress throughout treatment.
