What types of aligners do we use?

We use several types of aligners, including Spark, Invisalign, ClearCorrect as well as our own solutions. The choice depends on your dental position and treatment needs.

How Invisalign Works

Dental alignment with Invisalign® acts as a series of clear aligners that gradually straighten the teeth. You start with your aligner and then switch to a new aligner about once a week. The new aligner is slightly adjusted compared to the old one, and therefore your teeth will move as you change the aligner.

How do I know if treatment with clear aligners is possible for me?

Boon an one hour of free preliminary examination where our orthodontist assesses whether clear aligners can meet your specific needs. If this is not possible, our orthodontist can prescribe alternative solutions, possibly combining clear aligner treatment with other treatments.

What are attachments?

Attachments are small, tooth-colored dots that temporarily attach to your teeth to help the aligners move teeth more efficiently.

What happens if I lose an aligner?

Please contact the clinic for guidance. We also always recommend that you save your previous aligners, even if you have finished wearing them.

Course of treatment

How long does an Invisalign treatment take?

Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case, but typically it lasts between 6 and 24 months.

Can I see that I am undergoing treatment to have my teeth straightened?

No, you can't. We use invisible clear aligners, so you can smile confidently throughout the treatment course.

Will the clear aligners affect my speech?

Some may experience a mild lisp at the beginning of treatment. This typically goes away very quickly.

How often do I need a check-up?

For us, it is important to follow your progress, and therefore we recommend check-ups every 6-8 weeks.

Why do you shave the teeth?

The teeth are mildly shaved to create the necessary space between the teeth and at the same time ensure the most aesthetic result possible. At CLEARLI, however, the dentist will make your treatment plan so that we minimize shaving to keep your teeth intact as much as possible.

The use of the clear aligners

Do I have to wear my aligner all the time?

No, you're not supposed to. Your aligners are not permanently on your teeth. They can therefore be easily removed when you are going to eat. So there are no restrictions when it comes to food and drinks, unlike other dental regulation methods such as traditional braces, which can limit you in this area, as some food can risk getting stuck in the braces.

It is recommended to take off the aligners when drinking coffee, as it can discolor the aligners.

How many hours do I need to wear my rails?

For the fastest and most effective results, be aware that you need to use the aligners for a minimum of 22 hours a day.

Can I eat and drink with the aligners on?

It is recommended to remove the aligners during eating and drinking (except water) to avoid discoloration and damage to the rails.

How often should I change my aligners?

At CLEARLI, we recommend making minor adjustments per brace, as our orthodontists consider it to give the best result. It is important that you always wear a fresh aligner. So you would typically need to change the aligner about 1 time per week.

Can I do anything to make the treatment more effective?

Yes - by doing a little “workout” with your teeth. This happens by chewing on the handle of a toothbrush daily. It moves the teeth faster and the treatment becomes more effective.

Cleaning and maintenance of your aligners

How do I clean my aligners?

How do I store my aligners when I'm not using them?

When you are not wearing your aligners, they should always be stored in the given aligner case. This protects them from bacteria, dust and damage. Avoid wrapping them in paper or napkins, as they can easily be thrown away by mistake. If you lose your aligner, you should contact us to ensure that treatment continues without interruption.

Can smoking affect my aligners?

Yes, smoking can discolour the aligners and is therefore not recommended during treatment.

How do I avoid discoloration of my aligners?

To keep your aligners transparent and free from discoloration, you should:

Always remove the aligners when drinking colored drinks such as coffee, tea, wine or soda.
Brush your teeth and rinse your mouth before putting the aligners back on, especially after meals.
Clean the aligners daily with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water —  avoid hot water, as it can deform the aligners.
Avoid smoking, as nicotine can cause discoloration of the aligners.

What if my aligners start to smell?

If your aligners develop a foul odor, it could be due to a buildup of bacteria or food debris. Here are some solutions:

Daily cleaning: Brush the shins thoroughly with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water.
Deep Cleansing: Use for example Corega Tabs to remove odors and bacteria.
Good oral hygiene: Brush your teeth and floss before putting the aligners back on. Food debris between the teeth can be transferred to the aligners and cause foul odor.
Avoid storage in closed, damp places: make sure the aligners are clean and dry when stored in the case.

Can I use toothpaste to clean my aligners?

It is not recommended to use ordinary toothpaste for cleaning your aligners. Many toothpastes contain abrasives, which can scratch the surface of the aligners and make them more visible. Instead, you should use:

Lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush.
Corega Tabs or mild, soap-free cleansers that do not contain harsh chemicals.
Avoid mouthwash with alcohol or bleach, as it can damage the aligners.

Costs and Financing

How much does an Invisalign treatment cost?

Invisalign costs between DKK 30.000 and DKK 50.000 at Clearli. This includes all aligners, check-ups and retention to maintain your great result. Our prices and treatment courses are completely transparent, and you always get a fixed price before you start, so you know what to expect.

The actual price for invisalign depends on what your individual needs are.

If you need to correct minor imperfections of a cosmetic nature, the Invisalign course is shorter. This will typically require fewer aligners and check-ups, which is why the price will also be lower than if you have to go through a major course to correct moderate or major misalignments in the teeth.

If you want a specific price for your Invisalign treatment, you can book a free and non-binding preliminary examination.

At Clearli, we ensure that you get the right course of treatment with an invisible hanger — at the right price.

Do you offer financing options?

Yes, we offer interest- and fee-free financing solutions.
