Straightening teeth with clear aligners is an innovative treatment. Such a straightening method is an alternative for patients who are allergic to metals, as well as for those who do not want a brace system due to high demands on aesthetics. Teeth straightening with braces is often associated with aesthetic (metal or ceramic braces and metal wires are visible), care (food sticks when eating, harder to clean) and other challenges. Orthodontic aligners help to avoid many similar challenges. However, beautifying a smile in this way is only effective if the patient wears the aligners as prescribed by the orthodontist. So we tell you what are the most common mistakes made when wearing orthodontic aligners.

After removing the aligners, for example before or after a meal, the teeth should be brushed, the aligners cleaned and put back on the teeth after eating.
