Are CThru aligners really see-through?
Completely. They are made of transparent, lightweight plastic, so they are barely visible.
Will they affect my speech?
No, because the aligner fits over your teeth without obstructing the tongue.
Is there an age limit for CThru treatment?
As long as you are over 16 and all the adult teeth are in place, there is no age limit to receiving CThru treatment.
Does CThru hurt?
No. They should fit comfortably, because each aligner is designed especially for you and your mouth. They apply a gentle pressure you will soon get used to.
Are the aligners fixed in?
No – you can remove them easily, as you will need to take them out while you eat, brush and floss.
How long does treatment usually take?
The average is 6-12 months, depending on how much movement you want and how many ‘stages’ you need to go through (which will affect how many aligners we need to make).
Do I need to come in to my clinician throughout treatment?
Yes, you’ll need to come in every 6-8 weeks to check on progress and make sure everything is progressing well.
What do I do next?
If you want to know more, speak to your clinician or a CThru provider who can arrange for a CThru Review. Then they’ll be able to tell you approximately how long your treatment will take and how much it will cost.
