Your Clear Aligners have been intentionally designed not to fit the exact shape of your teeth as they are now. The result is that they can feel a little to get onto your teeth for the first time.
Why?
Ok so let's say we designed your Clear Aligners to fit your teeth exactly as they are now. 3 Things would happen:
- You wouldn't feel any pressure on any of your teeth.
- Your teeth would not move into alignment because of this lack of pressure.
- Your teeth would not straighten and you would be wearing aligners for no reason!
What about the right design we give you?
- Your teeth WILL feel pressure.
- Your teeth WILL straighten.
- You WILL have the smile we promised you.
We recommend biting down on your chewies to help your aligners click into place. Two chewies will be included with your toolkit.
