Frequently asked questions

What is the three-step clear aligner solution?

TrioClear™ is a three-step clear aligner solution. From SOFT, to MEDIUM to HARD, the varying levels of thickness from 0.5mm to 0.7mm shifts the teeth and helps each patient achieve their desired smiles.

Why do my teeth feel pressure during the treatment?

It is normal for your teeth to feel pressure at the beginning stage. This means that the aligners are starting to move your teeth. The feeling should disappear gradually in a couple of days. If this is not the case, please contact your doctor immediately.

Why do I lisp when I wear the aligners?

In the first few days you may speak with a slight lisp, which will go away after several days as your tongue adjusts to your aligners.

How can I clean the aligners?

You may gently brush the aligners with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water or mild soap. Please remember not to use toothpaste or denture cleanser or other chemical solvents such as bleach or rubbing alcohol to clean the aligners.

How can I store the aligners?

You may avoid placing the aligners in places of high temperature and humidity, and keep the aligners out of reach of children and pets.

How can I dispose of the aligners?

TrioClear™ aligners and Ecodont™ retainers are made from recyclable plastic material. However, clear aligners and other such appliances naturally pick up a lot of oral bacteria, and sterilization is needed before disposal. In order to dispose the appliances properly , you may check the local Waste Disposal Ordinance since waste management vary in different countries.

How can I keep my teeth and gums healthy?

You may brush and floss your teeth before you put the aligners back in. Regular dental checkups and cleaning are recommended for the continued health of your teeth and gums.

How to preserve your lifelong smile after treatment?

Retainers are worn to prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions after the treatment. For adults, there is a greater chance of relapse as bone and fibrous attachments to teeth are stronger than teens. Teeth also tend to shift over time as we grow older, wearing retainers at night or 15-18 hours during the daytime can preserve your lifelong smile.

What is Ecodont™ Retainer?

Ecodont™ Retainer is an orthodontic appliance, made from recyclable and BPAfree material, under TrioClear™. It is a doctor-prescribed, custom manufactured, clear plastic removable orthodontic appliance that you will wear after getting your teeth straightened, whether with the TrioClear™ treatment, traditional braces, or other conventional aligners. Regardless of how your teeth were aligned, Ecodont™ Retainer is built to retain you smile shine and straight from
now and to the future.
