What are 3M Clarity Aligners?

3M Clarity Aligners are a customised orthodontic system offering two unique materials—Flex and Force—that can be used individually or in combination to create personalised teeth straightening treatments. The Flex aligners provide comfort and easy removal, while the Force aligners are designed for more complex movements such as expansion, torque, and sequential bodily movement. This innovative clear aligner system integrates with a seamless digital workflow that allows orthodontists to design treatments, track progress, and manage patient records efficiently, providing an aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional braces with treatment times typically ranging from 12 to 18 months depending on individual needs.

Our Process For 3M Clarity Aligners

At London Dental Specialists, our 3M Clarity Aligners treatment is a structured process designed to achieve optimal results. It begins with a comprehensive consultation and assessment, where we evaluate your dental structure using advanced digital scanning technology. Following this, we develop a customised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, incorporating both Clarity Aligners Flex and Force materials to ensure precise tooth movement. The treatment involves wearing a series of clear aligners, each set worn for approximately 1-2 weeks, gradually guiding your teeth into their desired positions. Post-treatment care includes detailed guidance on retainer use and oral hygiene to maintain your newly aligned smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do 3M Clarity Aligners cost at London Dental Specialists?


At London Dental Specialists, 3M Clarity Aligners typically cost between £3,000 and £8,000, depending on your specific treatment needs and complexity. The final price is determined after your initial consultation, where our specialists will assess your dental condition and create a personalised treatment plan. We offer flexible payment options to make your treatment more affordable.



What are the advantages of 3M Clarity Aligners over traditional braces?


3M Clarity Aligners offer several advantages over traditional braces:



  • Nearly invisible appearance, making them aesthetically pleasing

  • Removable for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing

  • No food restrictions unlike with traditional braces

  • Typically more comfortable with no metal brackets or wires

  • Fewer in-person adjustments required

  • Easier maintenance of oral hygiene

  • Often shorter treatment time for certain cases



How long does 3M Clarity Aligner treatment take at London Dental Specialists?


The average treatment time with 3M Clarity Aligners at London Dental Specialists is 12 to 18 months, though this varies based on individual needs. Simple cases may be completed in as little as 6 months, while more complex cases might take up to 24 months. Your specialist will provide a personalised treatment timeline during your consultation.



How do I care for my 3M Clarity Aligners?


Proper care for your 3M Clarity Aligners includes:



  • Rinse aligners with lukewarm water whenever you remove them

  • Clean aligners daily with a soft toothbrush and mild soap (avoid toothpaste as it can be abrasive)

  • Store aligners in their protective case when not in use

  • Remove aligners when eating or drinking anything other than cool water

  • Brush and floss your teeth before reinserting aligners

  • Avoid hot water as it can warp the plastic



Can 3M Clarity Aligners be combined with other orthodontic treatments?


Yes, one of the key advantages of the 3M Clarity Aligner system is its flexibility. At London Dental Specialists, our orthodontists can combine 3M Clarity Aligners with other orthodontic interventions for complex cases. This hybrid approach allows us to address severe alignment issues more effectively than using aligners alone, providing optimal results for patients with diverse orthodontic needs.



How often should I wear my 3M Clarity Aligners?


For optimal results, you should wear your 3M Clarity Aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking (except cool water), brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear is crucial for successful treatment. Not wearing your aligners as prescribed can extend your treatment time and potentially affect the final outcome.



Will 3M Clarity Aligners affect my speech?


Some patients may experience a slight lisp when first wearing 3M Clarity Aligners, but this typically resolves within a few days as you adjust to wearing them. Most people adapt quickly, and any speech changes are usually temporary. Consistently wearing your aligners will help you adapt faster to speaking normally with them in place.



How often will I need to visit London Dental Specialists during my treatment?


Most patients using 3M Clarity Aligners at London Dental Specialists require check-up appointments approximately every 6-8 weeks. During these visits, our specialists will monitor your progress, provide you with new sets of aligners, and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. These regular appointments are essential to ensure your treatment progresses as planned.



Are 3M Clarity Aligners suitable for all orthodontic cases?


While 3M Clarity Aligners can effectively treat many orthodontic issues, they may not be suitable for all cases. They work well for mild to moderate alignment problems, including crowding, spacing, and some bite issues. For very complex cases, our specialists at London Dental Specialists might recommend traditional braces or a combination approach. A thorough assessment during your initial consultation will determine if 3M Clarity Aligners are right for you.
