🦷 What are aligners?
Aligners are thin clear flexible plastic ‘mouthguards’ which fit closely over the teeth. A series of aligners is used to move the teeth incrementally according to a treatment plan. Aligner appliances are ideally suited to adult patients whose life-style or work commitments make it difficult for them to wear more visible conventional fixed appliances.
As with any other form of cosmetic teeth straightening treatment, a proper assessment, diagnosis and treatment plan is essential to successful aligner treatment. An accurate impression of the mouth is used to create the customised aligners. Each appliance moves the teeth a small distance towards the intended position before moving on to the next in the series until the final result is achieved. Aligners need to be worn full-time, day and night except for meal times.
🦷 When can aligners be used?
Aligners are most commonly used in cases needing alignment of teeth without extractions.
Routine aligner treatments include:
* Mild-moderate dental irregularity
* Crowding which can be corrected with mild-moderate expansion of the dental arch
* Crowding which can be corrected with reductions in tooth width (Inter-proximal reduction or slenderising)
* Mild spacing
