What’s not to love about clear aligners? They offer a fun, revolutionary way to straighten smiles, and we at smilogy can’t get enough.
We’ve found that our customers love them because of the way they’re practically impossible to see, and they offer a convenient, comfortable and easy way to enter the world of cosmetic dentistry, without spending a fortune.
All their incredible advantages don't come for free. Here's why you have to fully commit to treatment, exactly as we advise!
Here's Why You Wear Clear Aligners 20+ Hours Daily
Your clear aligners move your teeth very slowly over time. While the treatment is typically faster than when you have other kinds of braces, we still can't rush things, to avoid damage and discomfort.
Once our team has designed your custom plan, they'll send a tailored amount of aligners through the post so you can begin to work on your new smile. Each time you change your trays over to a new set of aligners, you move your teeth that little bit further than the set before did.
They only work when they're actually set onto your smile. When you take them out to eat or for any other reason, you need to remember to put them back in afterwards.
At least 20-22 hours of wear is recommended a day to avoid lengthening your overall treatment time and encountering other complications.
A word to the wise - you can't get lazy! Some people are discouraged because they know they need to clean their teeth each time before popping them back in. It's important to get into good habits!
Benefits of Compliance
If you don't wear your clear aligners for long enough each day, you risk delays and complications.
Here are some positive reasons to stick with your treatment plan from our Australian dentists and orthodontists:
- Finish treatment more quickly
- Avoid having to go back on yourself with teeth reverting slightly
- Enjoy a more comfortable smile journey
