Clear aligners work by applying gentle, planned pressure to move teeth over time. Each set is worn according to your clinician's instructions, then changed as your smile progresses.
The first few days
It is normal to feel pressure when you begin a new set. Speaking may feel slightly different for a day or two, and saliva production can increase briefly. Most patients adapt quickly.
Build the habit
Keep your aligners in for the recommended hours, remove them for meals, and clean both your teeth and trays. A small case and travel toothbrush make the routine easier when you are away from home.
Keep your reviews
Regular reviews let your orthodontist check progress, answer questions, and make adjustments when needed. Consistency is the quiet engine behind a good result.
