How much does orthodontic treatment with aligners cost in Riga?

At We Care clinic we offer Angel Aligner and Invisalign systems. Treatment cost for both jaws is typically from €2,000 to €4,200 depending on the complexity of the case (primary, mixed or permanent bite). Orthodontic diagnostics (€250) should be factored in additionally. Installment payment plans are available in partnership with Klix (Citadele banka). The exact treatment plan and cost are prepared after consultation and digital diagnostics.

Aligners or braces: which is more convenient and what is the price difference?

Braces have a lower starting price, but require orthodontist visits every 4 weeks for wire adjustments. Aligners are a more modern alternative: you change them yourself at home, visiting the doctor only every 8–10 weeks. Aligners are nearly invisible and are removed during eating and brushing. Braces suit more complex bite cases, aligners suit those who value comfort and a flexible schedule. The choice depends on bite complexity and lifestyle — your orthodontist will help find the best solution.

Can I wear aligners only at night?

No. For effective treatment, aligners must be worn for at least 22 hours per day as prescribed by your doctor. If the aligners are not in your mouth, they are not working and treatment will be delayed.

When should you remove your aligners?

Aligners should be removed when eating, when drinking hot, coloring or sugary beverages, and when brushing your teeth. After removal, store them in their special case and clean them regularly with a toothbrush under running water using special aligner paste or foam.

What should I do if an aligner attachment falls off?

Don't worry — this is a fairly common situation. Attachments are temporary elements that can detach due to bite characteristics or chewing load. It is not a critical issue, but you should contact the clinic to schedule a re-bonding appointment. The doctor will assess whether the attachment needs to be restored to keep your treatment plan on track.

Why do aligners start to smell unpleasant?

This happens due to bacterial buildup. When aligners are placed over uncleaned teeth, saliva and plaque get trapped between the tooth and the tray. The solution is simple: always brush your teeth before putting aligners in, and never store wet aligners in a closed case without rinsing them first.
