They are clear and hard to notice when worn.
How many hours a day must I wear them?

Can I eat with aligners in?
No. Take them out to eat and drink anything other than plain water, then brush before putting them back.
Do aligners hurt?
A new tray may feel tight for a day or two. This pressure is normal.
Aligners or braces: which is better?
Aligners suit mild to moderate cases and people who want a removable option. Braces suit most cases, including complex ones.
