Teeth Alignment Kit
What is the Alidon Teeth Alignment Kit?
Alidon Teeth Alignment is a non-invasive orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth and correct misalignments.
How does the Alidon Teeth Alignment Kit work?
The Alidon Aligners correct poor myofunctional habits which are the cause of crooked teeth, while exerting a slight pressure on the teeth.
This pressure gets transferred to the roots and the jaws. The pressure in the jawbone allows
the sockets to move, essentially allowing your
teeth to form in alignment. The unique design enables the aligners to adapt to the shape of your mouth, making initial corrections, intensifying teeth correction and jawline
definition, and ensuring that your teeth begin to properly align. The use of all phases is
crucial for optimum results.
How do I use the Alidon Teeth Alignment Kit?
1. Hold the aligner with lip massage point down.
2. Put the braces in your mouth and keep your tongue in the position of the tongue block.
3. Gently bite the aligner and close your lips, keeping your nose breathing.
4. Disinfect or wash in warm water before and after each use. Leave to dry and wear or store. In-depth cleaning instructions are provided here.
The aligner should be worn for 1-2 hours during the day and 8 hours at night.
Stage 1: The first stage of the Alidon Teeth Alignment Kit is the Soft Stage, designed to establish a strong foundation for the alignment process. During this stage, wear the aligner for 1-2 months or until the aligner stays in place at night and nasal breathing has been established.
Stage 2: Once you are comfortable with the Soft Stage, you can progress to the Moderate Stage. This
stage is all about enhancing the alignment of your teeth. Wear the aligner for 2-4 months during this stage.
Stage 3: The final stage of the Alidon Teeth Alignment Kit is the Hard Stage. This stage is crucial for achieving the ultimate alignment and maintaining it in the long run.
Wear the aligner for 3-6 months during this stage.

Teeth Whitening Kit
How long does it take to see results?
Most users see noticeable results after just one use of the Alidon™ Teeth Whitening Kit, but for best results, it is recommended to use the kit for 10-14 consecutive days. The results will vary depending on the severity of your tooth stains and your individual lifestyle and diet.
How long do the results last?
The results of the Alidon™ Teeth Whitening Kit can last for up to 6 months, but this may vary depending on your individual lifestyle and diet. To maintain your results, it is important to brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time and avoid foods and drinks that can stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and cigarettes. You may also need to touch up your treatment every few months, depending on your needs.
Is the Alidon™ Teeth Whitening Kit safe for my teeth?
Yes, the Alidon™ Teeth Whitening Kit is safe for your teeth. It uses a low-concentration of phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid (PAP) to whiten your teeth, which is a newer whitening ingredient that is renowned for its ability to effectively lift stains without jeopardizing the health of your teeth, ensuring a smile that's not just brighter, but healthier too.
It's worth noting that certain teeth whitening ingredients can be detrimental and inflict lasting damage. The negative impacts often arise from the use of Hydrogen Peroxide, a common ingredient in many whitening products. This is precisely why we've made a conscious decision to be peroxide-free, offering you a safer alternative for a radiant smile.
Is the Alidon™ Teeth Whitening Kit suitable for sensitive teeth?
Yes, you can! Our PAP White Pro whitening formula is clinically validated to ensure no pain or sensitivity during or post-treatment. The reason behind this is the inclusion of PAP as the primary whitening agent in our formula. Unlike some other ingredients, PAP is gentle as it targets only the tooth stains without compromising the essential protective layers of the tooth or agitating the sensitive nerves within. This ensures a comfortable whitening experience without the worry of damaging your enamel.
However, if you naturally have sensitive teeth or are concerned about any reactions, we always advise consulting with your dentist before starting any whitening regimen.
Can I use the Alidon™ Teeth Whitening Kit while pregnant or breastfeeding?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is best to consult with your doctor before using any teeth whitening product, including the Alidon™ Teeth Whitening Kit. There is limited research on the safety of teeth whitening products during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Can I use the Alidon™ Teeth Whitening Kit if I have veneers or crowns?
If you have veneers or crowns, it is best to consult with your dentist before using any teeth whitening product, including the Alidon™ Teeth Whitening Kit. The kit may not be as effective on veneers and crowns as it is on natural teeth. Additionally, the whitening gel may damage some types of veneers or crowns.
