Jakarta –
Aligners are an alternative that can be chosen to straighten teeth apart from using braces. The process of using clear aligners to straighten teeth is also said to be faster than braces.
CEO of Rata.id Clinic, Drg Deviana Maria, explained that aligners are often used for cases of loose teeth to improve the structure or position of teeth. However, if the condition of the teeth has been affected by the jaw, for example if they are further forward, it is quite difficult to straighten them with aligners.
Every dental problem experienced by a patient needs to consult a doctor first to get the right treatment for maximum results. To use aligners, the time period is around 3-6 months but must be accompanied by discipline when using them.

“The aligners themselves are worn 22 hours per day, removed when eating and drinking, so it is recommended that if you are eating and drinking, don’t wear the aligners,” explained Dr. Deviana when talking to detikcom.
You should wear one set of aligners for 10-14 days with a daily usage duration of 20-22 hours. If the aligners are not used for the specified time, then one set of aligners requires additional use time.
Apart from that, make sure the aligners are not used while eating to prevent the material from yellowing. Clean the aligners with running water if they are to be used again and replace them once a week or as recommended by your doctor.
“If the method of use is not appropriate, maybe you have been using it diligently but in the middle of using it it is not optimal but is forced to use the next number, these things will make the end result not optimal,” he concluded.
