Clear Aligner

Clear aligner therapy offers a discreet, comfortable, and highly effective way to straighten your teeth without the brackets, wires, or dietary restrictions of traditional braces. Using a series of custom-made, removable transparent trays, your teeth are guided gradually into better alignment — improving both the appearance of your smile and the function of your bite.

Each aligner in the series is worn for one to two weeks before moving on to the next, with each tray making small, precise adjustments to tooth position. Progress is monitored by your dentist at regular check-up appointments, typically every six to eight weeks, allowing the treatment plan to be adjusted if needed to keep everything on track.

What clear aligners can treat

• Crowding: Teeth that overlap or are pushed out of alignment due to insufficient space in the arch.

• Spacing: Gaps between teeth caused by missing teeth, small teeth, or natural spacing patterns.

• Overbite: Upper front teeth that close too far in front of the lower teeth.

• Underbite: Lower teeth that sit in front of the upper teeth when biting.

• Crossbite: Upper and lower teeth that do not meet correctly on one or both sides.

• Orthodontic relapse: Teeth that have drifted after previous brace treatment and need realigning.

Everyday advantages

The removable nature of aligners means you can eat and drink whatever you like — simply take the trays out for meals and clean them before putting them back in. Brushing and flossing remain straightforward, with no need to navigate around brackets or wires. Most people around you will not notice you are wearing them at all.

To achieve the best result, aligners must be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day. Consistency is the most important factor in a successful outcome. Your dentist will discuss realistic timelines — most cases are completed within 6 to 18 months depending on complexity.

After treatment

Once your final tray is complete, retainers are fitted to hold your teeth in their new positions. This step is essential — teeth have a natural tendency to drift back without retention. A fixed wire behind the front teeth, removable night retainers, or a combination of both will be recommended to protect your result long term.
