Clear Aligners

What are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are made of see-through thermoplastic trays, which aid in aligning the teeth. The aligners are customized through a digital scan, to meet the requirements of each patient.

How do they work? 

The aligners are cemented against attachments that resemble small bumps that will help create the essential pressure for alignment. The teeth which will host the attachments will depend on the subjective need of patients. For the best results, the aligners must be worn for 20 hours each day.

5 reasons to choose Clear Aligners

• • Invisibility: Yes! It is tough to spot a clear aligner. This invisibility will spare you from visible reactions to your orthodontic treatment.
  • Removability: Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners can be removed. This will help you to maintain optimal oral hygiene.
  • Prevents Discolouration: A clear aligner does not latch itself to your teeth thus it prevents discoloration.
  • Time-effective: It takes less time than traditional braces. But this varies from one patient to another.
  • Convenient: Clear aligners can easily fit your teeth without any abrasion.
