This section is intended exclusively for orthodontists and dental technicians to upload scans and treatment plans. Patients are kindly asked to use the contact form on our website.
Schedule a visit with one of our partner doctors or with your own orthodontist. At this meeting, the doctor will check if aligner treatment is right for you and answer all your questions.
The doctor performs a precise digital scan of your teeth. Based on this, they create an individual, digital plan for your future smile transformation.
You receive a 3D visualization from us that shows you the final result. You can see your new smile even before you start! Once you approve it, we begin production.
In our laboratory, based on your plan, we print and create your personal, perfectly fitted set of clear aligners.
Production takes about 1-2 weeks. After quality control, we safely ship the finished set to your doctor's office, who will inform you when it's ready for pickup.
You receive your aligner set, the doctor fits the first pair, and explains the rules. Congratulations! From this day on, every day brings you closer to your dream smile.
Aligners are transparent, removable trays for your teeth, custom-made for each patient. They work by exerting gentle, constant pressure on the teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for about 1-2 weeks and then replaced with the next one, continuing the straightening process.
Aligner treatment is effective for a wide range of malocclusions in adults and teens, such as crowding, gaps between teeth, or crossbites. The final decision on your eligibility for treatment is made by an orthodontist during a consultation, after a thorough assessment of your teeth and bite.
Aligners are made from a high-quality, transparent medical-grade material, which makes them very discreet. Most people around you won't even notice you're wearing them. This is one of the biggest advantages compared to traditional orthodontic braces.
The process begins with a consultation and 3D scan at your orthodontist's office. Then, based on the digital treatment plan, your individual set of aligners is created in our laboratory. After about 1-2 weeks, the finished aligners arrive at your doctor's office, who invites you for an appointment to start the treatment.
The treatment time is individual and depends on the complexity of the malocclusion. On average, it lasts from 6 to 18 months. The exact duration of your treatment will be determined by the doctor in your individual treatment plan, which you will receive for approval before starting.
One of the benefits of aligner treatment is fewer check-up appointments compared to traditional braces. Typically, visits are scheduled every 6-8 weeks for the doctor to assess your progress and provide you with the next sets of aligners. Your doctor will establish the exact schedule.
To maintain your beautiful smile for years to come, a retention phase is essential after the active aligner treatment ends. You will receive special retainers (similar to aligners) or a permanent retainer will be placed. Wearing them according to your doctor's recommendations ensures that the treatment results will be permanent.
When you put on a new set of trays, you might feel slight pressure or discomfort for the first 1-2 days. This is completely normal and indicates that the aligners are working. This sensation quickly passes, and wearing the aligners themselves is painless.
Initially, for the first few days, you might notice a slight lisp as your tongue gets used to the presence of the aligners. This is completely normal and passes quickly. Most patients adapt within 2-3 days and speak perfectly normally.
Aligners should be removed for all meals and drinks other than cool water. This helps prevent damage and staining of the aligners and maintain excellent oral hygiene.
It's best to clean your aligners with a soft toothbrush and cool water every time you brush your teeth. Avoid hot water, which can warp them. Store them in their special case when you are not wearing them.
In such a situation, you should contact your doctor as soon as possible. Please don't worry – we understand that these things happen. As part of the AlinePro treatment, we provide our patients with the option of a one-time replacement of one lost or damaged upper aligner and one lower aligner. Your doctor will order a new aligner for you and instruct you on what to do in the meantime to not disrupt your treatment progress.
