How teeth move with aligners - now explained
Have you seen impressive smile transformations and wondered how teeth move with aligners? In this episode on the science of teeth straightening, our CEO and co-founder Dr. Aalok Y. Shukla explains how aligners work using the same basic concept of consistent pressure that was used to straighten teeth in Ancient Egypt! All forms of modern braces use these targeted forces for tooth movement in orthodontics.
So how do invisible aligners work and what’s behind tooth movement theory? Think of it like frames in a cartoon animation: each aligner is like a frame, moving your teeth by 0.2mm. Over a course of several months, your teeth are moved in small increments to achieve a final position. So, each aligner represents the new position your teeth will be in, preparing them for the following aligner and teeth movement.
Using our A&B aligner system, the more flexible A-aligners help stimulate movement and the stronger B-aligners secure the new position. This enables more comfortable, systematic tooth movement mechanics. Of course, every smile transformation is first digitally planned and then applied, so keep watching to see the process in 3D simulation vs reality!

This is a very clear explanation than any video out there!
Thanks for the explanation. 😊
exactly what I was trying to understand! Gracias
Thankyou very much sir for explaining this so clearly. I have been wanting to understand the mechanics of this system for quite sometime now. Wonderfully explained. 😊
Good explanation showing the aligner is the future movement
Well done and easy to understand
I have a crown on one of my back teeth but want to close a gap on my front teeth will the aligners affect the crown?
Doctor i don't have any gap in teeth. But my teeth is forward leaning. From side-on it doesn't look good. I want to push it back with aligner. Will it help? Or will i have to give up 1-2 teeth to get the job done?
Can I buy them online to fix my snaggle tooth ?
Is byte and alignerco any good ??
Wow, that man's lower jaw is enviable 3:12 (when my tongue lays flat, it covers my entire lower teeth). Would be nice to see the effects on someone with a super narrow palate/jaw.
Its necessary to extract teeth for aligner?
At the age of 48 years can use this treatment?
so all the aligners for the future are made at once in the beginning? I thought I had to get my teeth molded every month..
Hey Dr. Alok you said 0.2mm per tray Meaning 0.2 mm per tooth Or 0.2mm of total gap i have between all my teeths put together
For any personal recommendations please complete a free e-consultation to receive an assessment from a dentist.
i think my teeth are back to its position i need to make an appointment with my orthodontist its making me cough snore breathing funny my option will be clear aligners
What do you mean by A and B aligners, I only got aligners didn't say if they were A or B?
That sequence is unique to Straight Teeth Direct ;) The biodegradable bags the aligners come in do have their number on 1A 1B 2A 2B etc and all the instructions are including in your aligner onboarding through your secure account and the material you receive with the aligners :)
How long does one have to put these on? Do teeth ever go back to how they were?
Teeth are subject to constant forces in the mouth so whether you had braces or not they will be exposed to move over time unless you wear a retainer. Head over to our website / blog to learn all about retention :)
@@straightteethdirect thank you :)
Also, if the teeth, cheeks, and tongue move the teeth, why not harness their power instead of using Invisalign? (Orthotropics)
Because the forces generated due to our own muscles are not constant and can't be directed in a certain direction on the teeth.
Why aligners is very expensive
it is, but you can get a discount if you successful uploaded the (after photo’s ) of your teeth. ✨
