Active Aligners use customised trays that apply gentle pressure to move teeth in a specific direction. Wearing a series of these trays over time gradually aligns the teeth into the desired position.

Yes, Active Aligners are designed for maximum comfort. Made from high-quality plastic material, these aligners are smooth and custom-made to fit your teeth precisely. You may experience some discomfort or pressure during the first few days of wearing a new tray, but this is normal and typically subsides quickly.

To achieve the best results, it is recommended that you wear your Active Aligners for 22 hours a day. Each tray is typically worn for 1 to 2 weeks before moving onto the next stage of treatment. The length of treatment can vary depending on your individual needs and goals.

Your dental professional will book regular appointments to check on your progress and make adjustments as needed. Typically, you will need to book appointments every 4 to 6 weeks.

Active Aligners are suitable for most patients, including adults and teenagers. However, they may not be suitable for those with severe orthodontic issues. Your dental professional can help determine if you are a good candidate for aligner treatment.

To keep your aligners clean and in good condition, rinse them with warm water after each use and gently brush them with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Avoid using hot water, which can warp the aligners, and never use abrasive toothpaste.
