Teeth straightening with aligners in Riga: Invisalign and Angel Aligner

When choosing between these two methods, it is important to understand not only the total cost, but also how frequently you will need to visit the clinic throughout treatment.
Braces: lower starting price, but more frequent visits. Traditional braces remain a financially accessible option when paid for gradually during treatment. However, you should factor in the regular time and travel costs involved throughout the entire process:

• Visit frequency: you will need to visit the orthodontist on average every 4 weeks for wire adjustments.
• Payment structure: each visit is a separate payment, invoiced once a month. This means the total cost accumulates gradually over the entire treatment period.

Aligners: fewer visits and a predictable schedule. Aligners are a modern and more convenient alternative, allowing you to plan your time and finances effectively:

• Visit frequency: since aligner sets can be changed at home, a visit to the doctor is only required every 8–10 weeks. This is ideal for busy people and those who live further from the clinic.
• Payment planning: payments for aligners are generally less frequent and more predictable than with braces, given the reduced number of visits. You know the precise treatment plan and number of visits right from the start.

Summary: if your priority is the lowest possible cost and you are comfortable visiting the clinic every month, braces will be the right choice. If you value your time and prefer fewer visits (every 2–2.5 months) with greater comfort, aligners will be the most suitable solution for your lifestyle.

At We Care, we offer Angel Aligner and Invisalign — systems that hold leading positions in global orthodontics. The cost of treatment for both jaws typically ranges from €2,000 to €4,200, depending on the complexity of the case (primary, mixed, or permanent dentition).
Instalment payments: in partnership with Klix (Citadele banka), we offer convenient instalment payment options. An exact treatment plan and cost are prepared following a consultation and digital diagnostics.

This happens due to bacterial build-up. When aligners are placed over unbrushed teeth, saliva and plaque become trapped between the tooth and the aligner. The solution: always brush your teeth before putting aligners in, and never store wet aligners in a closed case without cleaning them first.

Don’t worry — this is a fairly common situation. Attachments are temporary elements, and they can come off due to your bite or chewing pressure. While it isn't a critical issue, please contact the clinic to schedule a re-bonding appointment. Your doctor will determine if the attachment needs to be replaced to ensure your treatment plan remains effective.

Smoking (including e-cigarettes and vaping) is not recommended while aligners are in your mouth. Nicotine and colouring agents stain the aligners, making them opaque and causing an unpleasant odour.

For effective treatment, aligner sets must be changed according to your doctor's instructions. The optimal wear time for aligners is 22 hours a day.

Remember!
During orthodontic treatment with clear aligners, there are no dietary restrictions, but it is essential to remove them while eating.
Important!

• If your aligners break or become deformed, contact your doctor.
• Do not use chewing gum while wearing aligners; this can damage them and cause discomfort.
• It is recommended to brush your teeth, use mouthwash and dental
