Question 2

how do the makeO toothsi clear aligners work?

Accepted Answer

- our teeth shift in position throughout our life. This could be due to added pressure from eating or talking, or just a natural process of ageing where the jaw moves. As our teeth shift, this could give rise to various teeth misalignment issues such as teeth gap, crowded teeth, etc.

- makeO toothsi clear aligners, thus, work by applying gentle pressure on the teeth, restricting them from shifting against the desired position.

- As the teeth move, the bone and other tissues also adjust for the teeth to remain in the final position.

are invisible aligners painful?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

why do I need aligners for both my upper and lower teeth if I only want to change one?

Accepted Answer

in order for your smile makeOver to be completed efficiently, your bite would require the support of both your upper and lower teeth. We consider crowding, open bite or gaps between teeth while deciding on a treatment plan. That’s why even if the problem persists only in the upper jaw, the lower jaw needs to be aligned accordingly. If we ignore the other half, the problem could escalate the issue concerning the positioning and bite of your teeth.
