Who is a candidate for clear braces?

Clear aligners work well for orthodontic cases with crooked, crowded, protruding or gapped teeth. About 60% of patients are candidates for clear aligners. However, there could be more complex cases in patients where clear aligners just won’t be the ideal option and a more traditional method, such as the use of metal braces, will have to be considered.

Factors to consider with clear braces

Before opting to go with clear aligners, please consider the following factors:

  • MUST be worn for at least 22 hours per day. This is a commitment and if you are forgetful, please remember that you might not achieve the outcomes you desire.
  • REMOVE your braces when consuming any food or drinks (except water). If you are a heavy coffee consumer all day everyday, this might not be the best option for you.
  • MUST brush your teeth after EVERY meal or drink before you put your clear aligners back on.
