What you need to know about clear braces
Everybody wants to have a beautiful smile. Because, why not? A confident smile can go a long way. However, while some are born blessed with a great smile, some may need a little help. Now, the ideal age you can get braces is between 10 – 14 years old. But don’t worry, it’s never too late, now that we have clear aligners!

Who Can Get Clear Aligners?
Clear Braces are for patients with mild to moderate cases of crowded teeth, or minor space discrepancies.
And best for teens or adults whose teeth and mouth are already fully developed.
How They Work
Once the dentist or orthodontist recognizes the need to move your teeth into a more desirable position, they’ll make a plan on how to reach your desired result.
Once they have reached the desired position, your current aligner, you’ll be fitted for a new version to make slight adjustments.
You’ll receive a new set of Clea Alignersd – each set bringing you closer to your target teeth!
How Long does it take to straighten
Your teeth with Clear Braces
It depends on the severity of crowding or spacing problems.
It usually takes 10 to 24 months to complete treatment.
But if you’re an adult who once had braces, and your teeth moved slightly over time, you may need clear aligners for a minimum of 10 weeks.
