CLEAR ALIGNERS

 Clear aligners are a type of orthodontic treatment that can be used to straighten teeth and correct various dental issues.

Here are some key points about Clear Aligners :

    1.    What Are Clear Aligners? Clear aligners are a series of virtually invisible, removable, and custom-made trays that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. They are an alternative to traditional braces.
    2.    Invisalign: Invisalign is one of the most well-known brands of clear aligners. Invisalign aligners are made from a patented thermoplastic material and are created using 3D digital scans of your teeth.
    3.    How They Work: Clear aligners work by applying controlled force to specific teeth, moving them a little at a time. Patients wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, then progress to the next set, until the treatment is complete.
    4.    Benefits:
    •    Aesthetics: They are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teens.
    •    Removable: They can be taken out for eating, brushing, and special occasions.
    •    Comfort: No metal brackets or wires, reducing irritation.
    •    Customized: Each aligner is custom-designed for the patient’s specific treatment plan.
    5.    Orthodontic Issues: Clear aligners can address a variety of orthodontic issues, including overcrowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and more. However, their effectiveness may vary depending on the complexity of the case.
    6.    Treatment Duration: The duration of treatment with clear aligners varies from person to person, but it typically takes several months to a few years to achieve the desired results.
    7.    Maintenance: Patients must maintain good oral hygiene and clean the aligners regularly to prevent staining and odors. They should also follow the treatment plan as prescribed.
