Q&A

I want clear aligners!

Common questions

If you have been looking into Seoul clear aligners,

you are probably already aware of the benefits of clear aligners.

Unlike traditional wire braces,

clear aligners do not involve attaching appliances to the teeth;

they are removable appliances made of transparent plastic,

so they offer excellent aesthetics

and do not cause discomfort such as a foreign-body sensation or irritation of the cheeks.

Even with these strong advantages of clear aligners,

we have gathered the questions that often make people hesitate when choosing an orthodontic appliance.

Are clear aligners less effective than wire braces?

Previously, we explained that clear aligners are a good option when

extraction is not necessary,

when you want to correct only a mild malocclusion,

when you want to correct a mild case of crowded or protruding teeth,

or when you want to correct crooked teeth,

gaps between teeth,

or misalignment of the teeth.

This was described as a “good option” because traditional wire braces are highly effective in cases that are not like this;

it does not mean that clear aligners cannot be used for cases that require extraction,

severe malocclusion,

severe crowding or protrusion,

or crooked teeth, spacing, or misalignment severe enough to affect daily life.

As many brands of clear aligners have emerged,

the treatment range has continued to expand,

and since clear aligners can now achieve effects comparable to traditional wire braces,

we recommend Seoul clear aligners.

Do I need to wear a retainer after finishing Seoul clear aligner treatment?

Just like traditional wire braces,

clear aligners are treatment appliances with a medical purpose

for correcting tooth alignment and malocclusion,

so you must wear a retainer after treatment ends.

If you do not wear a retainer,

your teeth may try to return to their original positions,

and relapse, meaning a return to the pre-treatment state,

can occur.

Retainers can also be clear,

and clear retainers require the same care as clear aligners.

My clear aligner hurts because I haven’t worn it in a while!

Clear aligners are usually

not made all at once,

but produced in stages.

Depending on the brand, the aligner may become stronger as you progress through the steps.

So if you have not been wearing your clear aligner consistently

and then put it on again after a long time,

teeth that have relapsed due to the rebound effect may be under greater pressure,

and because the teeth that should have moved on to a gentler-stage appliance have not moved yet,

you may feel stimulation from a stronger-stage appliance.

Clear aligners can show their full effect only with the patient’s active cooperation,

so if you are considering effective Seoul clear aligner treatment,

be sure to wear it for the recommended amount of time.

What types of clear aligners are there?

There are five major types of clear aligners.

If you want excellent elasticity and durability,

and if you want reliability backed by a large amount of clinical data,

the leading name in digital clear aligners is

Invisalign

If you want faster orthodontic treatment with less pain,

NanoLiner, set up by an orthodontic specialist and a dental technician,

is a good choice.

If you want orthodontic treatment suitable for a wide range of case difficulty,

then the domestic Cozan product

MagicAlign

If you want to reduce treatment time and pain through a gingival vibration massager,

the domestic Dentis product

Serafin
