Straighten Your Smile at Any Age

Clear Aligners for Adults

Your teeth can change over time. Previous orthodontic treatment, lost retainers, natural movement and changes in your bite can all contribute to crooked teeth, crowding or gaps.

The good news? You’re never too old to explore your options for a straighter smile.

Aalto clear aligners offer adults a discreet and flexible way to address many common alignment concerns, while fitting more easily into everyday life.

Why Does Teeth Alignment Matter?

Crooked or crowded teeth aren't only an aesthetic concern.

When teeth overlap or sit too closely together, they can sometimes be harder to brush and floss effectively. This can make it easier for plaque to accumulate in areas that are difficult to reach.

Improving alignment may make your daily oral hygiene routine easier, while also helping create a more balanced and confident smile.

However, clear aligner treatment isn't a substitute for good dental hygiene or regular dental check-ups. Your teeth and gums should be healthy before beginning orthodontic treatment.

Common Dental Concerns in Adults

As an adult, you may be considering treatment because of one or more of the following:

Crooked Teeth

Teeth can become crooked due to genetics, jaw development or movement following previous orthodontic treatment.

Clear aligners can be used to gradually move suitable teeth into improved positions as part of a personalised treatment plan.

Crowded Teeth

Crowding occurs when there isn't enough space for teeth to sit correctly within the dental arch.

Depending on the severity of the crowding, clear aligners may be able to improve alignment by gradually repositioning the teeth.

Gaps Between Teeth

Spaces between teeth can occur for a number of reasons, including genetics, tooth size and previous tooth movement.

Clear aligners can help close suitable spaces and create a more even-looking smile.

Bite Alignment

The way your upper and lower teeth come together is an important part of your overall dental health.

Some mild to moderate bite concerns may be suitable for clear aligner treatment. However, more complex bite or jaw problems may require other orthodontic approaches.

Your treating dentist will assess your bite before recommending treatment.

How Do Aalto Clear Aligners Work?

Aalto clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth and form part of a personalised treatment plan.

Each aligner applies controlled forces to gradually guide your teeth towards their planned positions.

You'll progress through a series of aligners throughout treatment, with your dental team monitoring your progress along the way.

Treatment begins with an in-office assessment at an Aalto partner clinic, giving your treating dentist the opportunity to assess your teeth, bite and oral health before treatment begins.

Why Adults Choose Clear Aligners

Clear aligners are particularly popular with adults because they offer flexibility that can fit around a busy lifestyle.

Discreet

Clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them a subtle alternative to traditional metal braces.

Removable

You can remove your aligners for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing.

Convenient

Aalto combines in-clinic dental care with digital treatment monitoring, helping reduce unnecessary appointments throughout your treatment.

Lifestyle-Friendly

Whether you're working, travelling, attending meetings or socialising, clear aligners can fit into your everyday routine.

Looking After Your Oral Health During Treatment

Straightening your teeth is only one part of maintaining a healthy smile.

During treatment, it's important to:

• Brush your teeth twice a day

• Floss or clean between your teeth daily

• Remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water

• Clean your aligners as instructed

• Attend dental appointments when recommended

• Maintain regular dental check-ups

Keeping your teeth and gums healthy helps create the right environment for orthodontic treatment.

Clear Aligners and Adult Dental Health

Clear aligners aren't designed to replace your regular dental care, but improving tooth alignment may make some areas of your mouth easier to clean.

For adults with crooked or crowded teeth, this can be an important consideration when deciding whether orthodontic treatment is right for them.

Your treating dentist can assess your individual oral health and determine whether clear aligners are appropriate for your smile.
