Most patients using SureSmile clear aligners in Augusta, GA, switch to a new set of trays every one to two weeks, depending on their treatment plan.
Each set of aligners moves your teeth a small amount. Once your teeth have shifted into the position that the set was designed for, you’ll switch that tray out for the next one in the set. This gradual process continues until your teeth reach their final positioning.
What to Expect During Treatment
You'll wear your aligners for most of the day, 20 to 22 hours, and you’ll only take them out to eat, drink (anything besides water), brush, and floss. Consistency matters during this process. Wearing your trays for fewer hours than recommended or losing a tray can slow your progress and extend your overall treatment time.
Our team will give you several sets of aligners at once, so you won't need to visit our office every time you switch trays. We'll schedule periodic checkups to monitor your progress and make sure everything is moving as planned. If adjustments are needed, we can address them during these visits.
Once you finish using your final set of aligners, you'll wear a retainer to keep your teeth from shifting back.
