Clear Aligners
Straighten Teeth Without Metal Braces
Clear Aligner, such as Sure smile, Tru-aligner, Invisalign, Spark and Angel Align, is an alternative option for orthodontic treatment which can similarly deliver an amazing result with beautiful smile, perfectly aligned teeth and good functional bite compared to fixed braces. It has gained its popularity due to the invisibility of the appliances.
Clear aligner consists of a series of individually and digitally designed, custom-made, mouthguard-like clear plastic aligners. Patients are required to wear these aligners at all times except when eating, brushing and flossing. Aligners are removable which are beneficial in terms of cleaning accessibility and maintaining good oral hygiene. They are to be replaced every 2 weeks in order to gradually move the teeth in the direction planned by your provider. However, Clear Aligner is not suitable in all cases so you will need to organise a consultation to assess your suitability. Traditional braces may be necessary to fix particular problems. During the initial consultation, we will discuss the issues you have with your teeth and explore what kind of results you’re hoping to achieve. If Invisalign is suitable for you, a treatment plan will be mapped out with your goals in mind. We will take impressions of your teeth and will send these to the clear aligner laboratories for processing.
HOW LONG DOES CLEAR ALIGNERS TAKE?
Clear aligners should be worn day and night, except when eating, brushing or flossing teeth in order to complete your treatment in the timeline determined by your provider.
General checkups every 4–6 weeks are required to monitor your progress and to receive your next series of aligners. During the entire treatment process, small movements will be noticed, and an even and healthy smile is achieved through gradual move of teeth. A full treatment typically includes 18–40 aligners for both the upper and lower teeth, which will take approximately 6–18 months depending on your individual case. After treatment is completed, you may wear a retainer at night to maintain the new position of your teeth to prevent relapse.
