Clear Aligners FAQ
- What are clear aligners?
- Clear aligners are custom-fabricated, transparent thermoplastic trays that apply controlled force to gradually reposition teeth without metal brackets or wires. Atlanta Dental Center offers two aligner systems: Invisalign and Candid Pro, each suited to different case types and patient preferences.
- What is the difference between Invisalign and Candid Pro?
- Invisalign treatment is fully managed in-office with regular appointments and can handle simple to complex orthodontic cases, including significant bite correction. Candid Pro is a doctor-directed system that incorporates remote monitoring between fewer in-office visits and is designed for mild to moderate alignment cases. The dental team at Atlanta Dental Center recommends the appropriate system based on the complexity of each case.
- How long does clear aligner treatment take?
- Treatment duration ranges from 6 to 18 months depending on the severity of misalignment. Mild spacing or crowding cases may complete in 6 months, while cases involving bite correction or significant tooth movement typically require 12 to 18 months.
- Are clear aligners comfortable?
- Clear aligners are made from smooth medical-grade plastic and do not have the brackets, wires, or metal components that cause the mouth irritation associated with traditional braces. Patients typically experience mild pressure for 1 to 2 days when switching to a new aligner tray.
- How often do I wear them?
- Aligners must be worn 20 to 22 hours per day to stay on track with the treatment plan. They are removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and oral hygiene.
- Will aligners affect my speech?
- Some patients notice a mild lisp during the first 24 to 48 hours of wearing aligners, which resolves as the tongue adjusts to the presence of the trays. The aligners are thin enough that speech impact is minimal after the initial adjustment period.
- Can teenagers use clear aligners?
- Yes. Both Invisalign Teen and Candid Pro are suitable for responsible teenagers. Invisalign Teen includes compliance indicators on the trays that fade with wear, helping parents and the dental team at Atlanta Dental Center verify consistent use.
- Do I need to wear a retainer afterward?
- Yes. Retainers are required after any orthodontic treatment to maintain the corrected tooth positions. Without a retainer, teeth will gradually shift back toward their original alignment over time.
- How do I know which aligner system is right for me?
- The choice depends on case complexity, the number of office visits preferred, and the degree of bite correction needed. Atlanta Dental Center evaluates each patient’s alignment, bite, and goals using digital imaging to determine whether Invisalign or Candid Pro is the better fit.
