Aligners (The Invisbile Brace Systems)
What are aligners?
Dental Aligners(like Invisalign, Illusion Aligners, Clear Aligners,Odonto Aligners, etc) are Clear plastic, repositionable orthodontic tools used to correct teeth position. They are a well-liked substitute for conventional metal braces and are frequently used to treat minor to moderate dental misalignment. By gently pressing on the teeth, dental aligners gradually move them into the ideal position. The only times they are taken out are to eat, brush, and floss. They are usually worn for 20 to 22 hours per day. Wearing a series of aligners throughout the course of treatment will gradually reposition the teeth into the ideal position. Each aligner in the series is worn for a predetermined period of time before being changed out for the following one.

Got Doubts?
Are dental aligners better than traditional braces?
Dental aligners offer several advantages over traditional braces, such as being nearly invisible, removable, and typically more comfortable. However, they may not be suitable for all orthodontic conditions. The choice between aligners and braces depends on individual cases and should be discussed with our dentists or our inhouse orthodontist, Dr Mohd Asrar Siddiqui, MDS, Certified Invisalign Provider.
How long does treatment with dental aligners typically take?
The duration of treatment with dental aligners varies depending on the complexity of the case. On average, it can range from 6 months to 2 years. Regular consultations with your dentist are necessary to monitor progress and make adjustments as needed.
Are dental aligners painful to wear?
Dental aligners may cause mild discomfort or pressure when first worn or when switching to a new set. This sensation is typically temporary and a sign that the aligners are working. If the discomfort persists, consult our dentists.
Can I eat and drink normally while wearing dental aligners?
It’s recommended to remove aligners while eating and drinking anything other than water. This prevents damage to the aligners and maintains oral hygiene by reducing the risk of trapping food particles and liquids under the aligners.
How often do I need to wear my aligners each day?
Aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours a day for optimal results. They should only be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear is crucial to achieve the desired treatment outcome.
Do I need to remove my aligners for brushing and flossing?
Yes, you should remove your aligners for brushing and flossing. This ensures proper oral hygiene by allowing you to clean your teeth and gums thoroughly. Also, cleaning your aligners separately is essential to maintain their clarity and hygiene.
What happens if I lose or damage one of my aligners?
If you lose or damage an aligner, contact your dentist immediately. Depending on your treatment stage, your dentist may advise you to wear a previous set or move to the next one until a replacement is provided.
Do dental aligners require any special cleaning or maintenance?
Aligners should be cleaned regularly with a soft-bristled toothbrush and lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. Special cleaning solutions designed for aligners can also be used but avoid using toothpaste, as it can be abrasive.
What happens after my aligner treatment is complete?
After your aligner treatment, you will likely need to wear a retainer to maintain your new tooth alignment. The type and duration of retainer use will be determined by our dentist based on your specific needs.
