Clear Aligners: common questions
Are clear aligners as effective as braces?
For most mild to moderate cases, yes. We'll assess your teeth and tell you honestly whether aligners or braces will give you the best result.
How many hours a day do I wear them?
Around 20–22 hours a day — you only take them out to eat, to drink anything other than water, and to brush and floss.
