Welcome to your aligners
Meet your invisible aligner.
Clear aligners offer a discreet and convenient way to achieve a straighter smile. Each set applies gentle pressure to your teeth, gradually moving them into position.
Get started
Consistent wear is what matters most
Wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, drinking and oral hygiene.
Unlike traditional braces, ClearChange aligners are removable. Take them out whenever you eat or drink to avoid damage or staining. Water is the only exception. Tea, coffee and red wine can stain your aligners, so it is better to avoid them while wearing them.
- 20 to 22 hours of wear each day
- Remove to eat and drink (water is fine)
- Store them in their case whenever they are out
Clear, clean smile
How to clean my aligner
- 01
Clean twice a day
Clean your aligners just like your teeth, morning and night. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and cold water.
- 02
Skip the harsh stuff
Avoid mouthwash, toothpaste and bleach. These can damage the aligners, making them cloudy and less discreet.
- 03
Rinse before storing
Rinse away saliva and plaque whenever you take your aligners out. This prevents bacteria build-up, even on the go.
- 04
Soak for a deep clean
Use specialised aligner or retainer cleaning tablets, and follow the product’s instructions.

Common questions
Getting started, answered
Clear answers from the ClearChange team. Your registered dental provider can advise on your individual situation.
How do I get started with ClearChange aligner treatment?
The first step is to find a registered provider in your area and book an initial consultation. During this appointment, your dental provider will assess your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine whether clear aligner treatment is suitable for your needs. From there, your treatment plan will be developed and your aligners will be custom-made for you.
What happens at my first clear aligner consultation?
Your dental provider will carry out a clinical assessment of your teeth and bite. This may involve an intraoral scan or other records depending on your provider’s process. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn what treatment may involve. There is no obligation to proceed.
How long does it take to receive my ClearChange aligners after starting?
Once your provider submits your case, the team will review your records, develop your treatment plan, and manufacture your aligners at the New Zealand facility. Because the aligners are made locally, turnaround times may be faster compared to overseas providers. Your provider will give you a more specific timeframe once your case has been submitted.
Do I need a referral to book a consultation?
You do not typically need a referral. You can find a registered provider near you through this website and book an appointment directly with their clinic. It is a good idea to have your general dental health in good order before starting orthodontic treatment, so your provider may recommend a check-up as part of the process.
What should I expect during my clear aligner treatment journey?
You will wear each set of aligners as directed by your dental provider and attend regular check-up appointments to monitor your progress. The aligners are removable, so you can take them out when eating and cleaning your teeth. Your provider will guide you through each stage and let you know when to move to your next set.
