Are aligners really as invisible as they look online?+
They’re discreet, not invisible. Edges of the tray, saliva and any attachments can all show when someone is speaking with you at a normal distance.
Is the rendered smile in those videos what people end up with?+
A digital preview shows a proposed outcome, and teeth respond biologically. That’s why real progress gets checked in the mouth and plans may be refined.
Do the extra bits ever get mentioned before treatment begins?+
They should be part of your planning conversation. Ask which auxiliaries your own movements call for, whether attachments, elastics or space creation.
When would braces make more sense than the ads suggest?+
Braces can give direct control over a broad range of movements, and they don’t rely on remembering to insert anything. An assessment can show how this applies to you.
Does taking trays out as often as I like affect results?+
It can. Removal is meant for meals, drinks other than water, and cleaning. Time out beyond that may leave teeth lagging behind the digital plan.
