The aligners apply gentle pressure to your teeth to move them into a better position. Every two weeks, you progress to the next set of aligners until you reach the last set in the series.<\/p>\n
Since each pair of aligners is shaped differently from the last, you\u2019ll feel a bit of pressure each time you transition to a new set of trays. The mild pressure will gradually wear off over the two weeks and then the process repeats itself as you progress throughout the treatment.<\/p>\n
Some people will also require small tooth-coloured attachments for added retention. They serve to improve the surface area for the aligners to grip onto and are removed once treatment is complete.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row make_equal=\u00bbon\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.25.1″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb custom_css_main_element_last_edited=\u00bboff|desktop\u00bb custom_css_main_element_tablet=\u00bbdisplay:block;\u00bb custom_css_main_element_phone=\u00bbdisplay:block;\u00bb theme_builder_area=\u00bbpost_content\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.20.0″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb theme_builder_area=\u00bbpost_content\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.25.1″ _module_preset=\u00bb1a2cb743-d062-4069-b21b-6348ed96169e\u00bb text_font=\u00bbMontserrat||||||||\u00bb text_text_color=\u00bb#000000″ background_color=\u00bb#e2eaf0″ custom_padding=\u00bb30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true\u00bb hover_enabled=\u00bb0″ locked=\u00bboff\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb theme_builder_area=\u00bbpost_content\u00bb sticky_enabled=\u00bb0″]<\/p>\n
