Active Aligners are known in the dental industry as clear aligner therapy, which are custom trays worn in sequence that move your teeth in stages. Think “invisible braces”. They work by gradually shifting teeth into their optimal position, making your teeth straighter. This is achieved through wearing a series of aligners, each for 22 hours a day, 2 weeks at a time (one stage), which move the teeth up to 0.3mm per stage until their optimal alignment has been reached. Often Active Aligners are referred to as transparent braces, or clear braces, as they are made from transparent FDA Approved material. This means you will be able to wear them without people noticing.

Active Aligners are made from clear high quality FDA Approved dental materials. Active Aligners are smooth, clear, transparent, BPA and gluten free. When worn, Active Aligners are virtually undetectable.

The average treatment time is between 6 and 7 months, however each Active Aligner case is different and treatment times may vary between 2 to 12 months.

Adults: It is never too late to start straightening your smile! There is no maximum age limitations applicable to Active Aligners treatments.

Teens: The right age for Active Aligners Teen treatments is dependent on when all permanent teeth have fully erupted through the gum and are completely grown in. For most teens, this is usually at around the ages between 13 to 14. Every teen develops differently and for some it could be at either a younger or older age. Only a provider can accurately assess whether a teen is currently a suitable candidate, and this is done on a case-to-case basis.

If you discover an issue with any of the Active Aligners please return to your provider with your faulty Aligner(s) as soon as possible.

If you do not wear your Active Aligners for the minimum recommended time each day, your treatment may not track correctly and the length of treatment may be extended.
