PlusDent aligners are custom-made aligners and made of transparent plastic, which is BPA-free. The tooth movement for your treatment is split into many small steps. For each step, you will receive custom-made aligners, which exert pressure on the teeth to carry out the planned partial movement.

It will take approximately 7-14 days until you receive your treatment plan via email. Once you have decided to opt for treatment with PlusDent aligners, your individual aligners will be produced, which takes around four to six weeks.

Unlike fixed braces, you wear the aligners 22 hours a day and only remove them when eating, drinking and brushing teeth. It is important to adhere to the instructed wearing period in order to achieve the predicted treatment results.

You can drink cold water with the aligners still in your mouth. However, hot drinks can damage or warp the aligners. Generally, you should remove the aligners when eating and drinking and store them in the container provided. After eating or drinking something, you should brush your teeth because the saliva cannot remineralise your teeth as usual. Don't forget to rinse your aligners with running water before reinserting them.

Clean your aligners twice a day with the toothbrush. Do not use toothpaste, as the aligners may go cloudy. It is best to use a cold water and mild soap to clean the aligners. Hot water will damage the material and warp it. The aligners will then lose their shape and become unusable. Thorough and proper care will keep your aligners in perfect condition.

Our dentists decide in individual cases whether treatment is possible for you.

In order to make a 3D scan of your teeth, which serve as the basis of our prognosis, the retainer wire does not have to be removed. However, it should later be removed as soon as your aligner treatment begins.
