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.
