Smile Makeover with Aligner Teeth: Here’s How It Works

A confident smile can be life-changing. Whether it’s for a big event, a professional boost, or simply for your own self-esteem, having straight teeth plays a huge role in how you look and feel. For years, metal braces were the only option for correcting misaligned teeth , but today, aligner teeth have revolutionised the process.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how aligner teeth work, why they’re an increasingly popular choice across Europe, and how Smileie’s treatment process can give you a stunning smile makeover without the inconvenience of traditional braces.

What Are Aligner Teeth?

Aligner teeth — also called dental aligners or teeth aligners — are custom-made, clear trays designed to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Unlike metal braces, they are nearly invisible, removable, and much more comfortable for day-to-day life.

Each set of aligners is worn for around two weeks before switching to the next in the series, with each stage moving your teeth slightly closer to perfect alignment.

Key benefits of aligner teeth:

• Discreet, almost invisible design

• No dietary restrictions (you remove them when eating)

• Easier brushing and flossing

• Smooth edges for added comfort

Step 1: Your Smile Assessment

The first step towards your smile makeover is assessing your teeth. At Smileie, the process starts with an at-home impression kit. 

This step allows our orthodontic team to understand your current alignment and create a personalised treatment plan.

Step 2: Your Custom Treatment Plan

Using advanced 3D technology, Smileie’s orthodontists map out your tooth movement from start to finish. You’ll even get a preview of your expected results before you begin treatment.

Your plan outlines:

• The estimated treatment time

• How many sets of aligners you’ll need

• The specific movements for each tooth

This ensures you know exactly what to expect — no surprises along the way.

Step 3: Creating Your Dental Aligners

Once your plan is approved, your custom dental aligners are made from high-quality, BPA-free plastic. These aligners are designed for optimal comfort while delivering the precise pressure needed to guide your teeth into alignment.

Each aligner is laser-trimmed for a perfect fit and clarity, making them virtually unnoticeable when worn.

Step 4: Wearing Your Aligners

To see the best results, you’ll need to wear your aligners for 20–22 hours per day. You can remove them for:

• Eating and drinking (except water)

• Brushing and flossing

• Special occasions, if needed

Every 1–2 weeks, you’ll switch to the next set of aligners in your series, each one bringing you closer to your dream smile.

Step 5: Tracking Your Progress

Throughout treatment, you’ll have check-ins with Smileie’s orthodontic team — often done virtually — to ensure your teeth are moving as planned.

If adjustments are needed, updated aligners can be made to keep you on track.

Step 6: Enjoying Your Smile Makeover

When you finish your last set of aligners, you’ll see your transformation in full. But your journey doesn’t stop there — you’ll need a retainer to maintain your new smile. Retainers keep your teeth from shifting back, ensuring your results last a lifetime.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Aligner Teeth?

Aligner teeth are a great solution for:

• Mild to moderate crowding

• Small gaps between teeth

• Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment

For more complex cases, a consultation with an orthodontist can determine whether aligners are suitable or if another treatment would be more effective.

How Long Does Treatment Take?

Treatment times vary depending on the complexity of your case, but most Smileie patients see results in 4–8 months. Wearing your aligners as instructed is the key to achieving the fastest, most predictable outcome.
