Are Clear Aligners Painful?

Clear aligners may cause some discomfort or soreness as your teeth gradually adjust to their new positions. This discomfort may only occur for the first few days of use with a new aligner tray, but for prolonged soreness, Drill Dental Bar recommends cold compresses or over-the-counter medication such as ibuprofen to manage the pain.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Clear aligners will require multiple appointments to ensure you are satisfied and happy with your bright new smile. Our dental providers can outline the treatment series for your clear aligners in your consultation. Every patient’s mouth is different, so treatment may vary, but on average, patients can expect treatment to last between 6 and 15 months, with an average number of 18 to 30 tray sets.

How Long Until I See the Results?

Results will vary according to each patient’s treatment plan. There will be a gradual improvement as your teeth begin to adjust to their new positions. In general, patients may notice subtle changes three weeks into their treatment. Many of our patients notice a visible change around three to six months into their treatment process.

Can I Combine Clear Aligners with Other Procedures?

Please schedule a consultation; we will be happy to help you assess the full range of options available.
