Choosing to straighten your teeth can feel overwhelming, but with mydent Invisible Aligners, the journey is far simpler and more convenient than ever before. Still, misconceptions and outdated beliefs about aligners continue to circulate, making it hard for patients to make informed decisions.
In this article, we clear up the most common myths surrounding invisible aligners—and show you why mydent Aligners are a smart, modern choice for transforming your smile.
Myth 1: Invisible Aligners Are Less Effective Than Braces
Many assume that aligners are just a cosmetic option and not as powerful as traditional braces. The truth? mydent Aligners are clinically proven to treat a wide range of dental issues—from mild crowding to complex bite misalignments. In fact, in many cases, they offer added benefits such as:
- Better hygiene: Easily removable for eating, brushing, and flossing
- No food restrictions: Enjoy your meals without worry
- Increased comfort: No metal wires or brackets
- Discreet wear: Nearly invisible on your teeth
Myth 2: Clear Aligners Are Too Expensive
It’s a common belief that clear aligners cost more than traditional braces. However, mydent Aligners offer flexible pricing plans without compromising on results. Our free scans, hybrid treatment options, and remote monitoring drastically cut down on clinic visits—saving you time and money in the long run.
Myth 3: Treatment with Aligners Takes Longer
Not true. On average, mydent Aligners treatment takes 06–14 months, often quicker than braces depending on the case. We provide a 3D treatment preview before you begin, so you’ll know what to expect and how long it will take.
Myth 4: Aligners Stain Easily
Our aligners are made with high-quality PET-G sheets, designed to resist staining. Since you remove them while eating or drinking anything but water, staining is minimal. Plus, each set is replaced every 1–2 weeks—meaning you always wear a clean, fresh set.
Myth 5: Aligners Are Only for Young People
Age is not a barrier to orthodontic care. Whether you’re a teenager or a working adult, mydent Aligners are tailored to fit your stage of life. Adults who missed braces in their youth or want a discreet solution now are among our most satisfied patients.
Myth 6: Dental Hygiene Isn’t Important During Aligner Treatment
Quite the opposite. mydent Aligners are removable, which means maintaining good oral hygiene is easier than with braces. Brushing, flossing, and cleaning your aligners regularly will keep your teeth and gums healthy throughout your treatment.
Myth 7: Aligners Affect Your Speech
At the beginning, you might notice a slight lisp—but this disappears within a few days. Your tongue adjusts quickly, and you’ll be speaking normally in no time. Most users say the adjustment period is smooth and short.
