Frequently Asked Questions

Mia Aligners are clear, removable trays designed to gently straighten your teeth over time. They're discreet, custom-made to your smile, and a great alternative to traditional braces — no brackets, no wires.

Most treatments fall between R19,000 and R48,000, depending on how complex your case is. After your scan, we'll provide a personalised quote. Flexible payment plans are available if needed, on request!

It depends on your case. Some people finish in 6 months, while others may take 12–18 months. Once your plan is finalised, you'll receive a clear timeline for your treatment.

You may feel some pressure or tightness when you start a new set — that's totally normal and a sign your aligners are doing their job. This feeling usually settles within a day or two.

For the best results, wear your aligners for 22 hours a day. Only remove them when eating, drinking anything other than water, or brushing your teeth.

No — always remove your aligners before eating or drinking (unless it's plain water). Hot drinks can warp them, and food can stain or trap bacteria.

Not always! Some people might notice a slight lisp at first. This is common and usually goes away within a few hours as your mouth adjusts.

Rinse them when you remove them and use a soft toothbrush with gentle, unscented soap. You can also use aligner foams, cleaning tablets, non-abrasive toothpaste, or denture cleaner. Avoid hot water and coloured mouthwashes as they can damage or stain the plastic.

Chewies are soft foam tools you gently bite on to help your aligners fit snugly against your teeth. This not only improves the fit, but also helps apply consistent pressure where it's needed most. The chewing action creates gentle up-and-down forces, encouraging your teeth to move within the socket — a key part of how bone remodelling happens during aligner treatment. Use them daily to keep your aligners tracking properly and make your treatment more efficient.

Use your chewies and wear the aligner for an extra day or two. If it still feels off, don't switch to the next set — send us a photo or book a quick check-in.

Yes, we recommend seeing you every 6–8 weeks to make sure everything is on track and to make any small adjustments if needed.

Once your teeth are aligned, you'll move into retainers to help keep them in place. Most retainers are worn at night.

Sometimes, yes. Some aligners work with whitening gels, but your Mia dentist will advise you on whether this is suitable and which product is safest to use.

Pop in your previous set to hold things in place and contact us as soon as possible. We'll let you know whether you can move forward or if we need to reorder or repeat that stage.

Definitely! Just take your current set, your next set, your case, and your chewies. If you're going away for a while, let us know so we can help you plan ahead.

Yes. For contact sports, wear a mouthguard instead of your aligners. If you play an instrument, you may want to remove them at first, until you're comfortable.

Attachments are tiny, tooth-coloured dots that help your aligners grip your teeth better. They're safe, temporary, and barely noticeable.

Great question! The answer is — not at all. They're very discreet, and most people quickly forget they're even wearing them.

It happens! Just wear that set for an extra day or two to catch up. If it becomes a regular issue, get in touch so we can adjust your plan if needed.

Yes! Aligner cleaning foams, tablets, or denture cleaners are all safe, just avoid hot water and always follow the product instructions. Your Mia dentist can guide you on which option is best.

Toothpaste can be abrasive and may scratch the aligners. If you do use it, choose a gentle, non-abrasive one. Otherwise, stick to mild soap or a cleaning solution.

Every smile is different! Attachments are only used if certain tooth movements need extra support. If your friend doesn't need them, that's simply based on their plan.

Refinements are extra aligners used to fine-tune your results before treatment ends. Retainers are worn after treatment to keep your teeth in place long term.

We don't recommend it. Smoking or vaping can stain or warp the plastic. If you need to, take your aligners out and make sure to rinse with water before putting them back in. Ideally, try to limit it during treatment.

Yes and you should be! Aligners are designed to work continuously, so wearing them overnight is important.

This depends on your case. Some patients get a fixed (wire) retainer behind the teeth for extra support. Others just wear removable retainers at night. We'll advise what's best for you.

Braces use brackets and wires that stay fixed to your teeth. Aligners are removable and clear, offering a more discreet and flexible option, though both can be effective, depending on your needs.

We'll always check this at the start. Any fillings or other work should usually be done before aligners begin — that way we're moving healthy teeth.

First, we take a 3D scan, photos, and X-rays of your teeth and jaws. Then we send you an estimate. If you're happy, you'll pay a treatment planning fee and we'll create your customised plan. Once approved, we order your aligners and you're ready to begin.

This fee covers the full digital design and orthodontic planning behind your treatment. It's non-refundable and separate from your aligner quote, but it ensures your smile plan is safe, personalised, and precise.
