Clear aligner treatment is an orthodontic method that moves the teeth gradually using removable, nearly invisible trays. Your dentist decides whether it is suitable for each case.
Who may be suitable?
- Adults with mild to moderate crowding or spacing
- People who prefer not to have metal braces
- Those who can wear the aligners consistently for the advised time
How does the process work?
- Suitability is assessed with an examination, photographs and an intraoral scan.
- Your dentist explains the treatment plan and estimated duration.
- Aligners are changed in sequence and progress is monitored at regular check-ups.
- A retainer may be recommended at the end of treatment.
After treatment and care
Aligners are removed for eating and need to be worn for most of the day. Cleaning the aligners and teeth after each use is important. Follow the retainer advice to maintain the result.
