Aligners

Invisible Teeth Alignment in Chembur

WHAT ARE ALIGNERS ?

Clear Aligners are custom-made transparent trays designed to straighten teeth without the use of wires or brackets. Made from medical-grade plastic, they are comfortable, removable, and virtually invisible — making them an ideal choice for both adults and teens who wish to correct their smile discreetly.

Aligners gradually move your teeth into the desired position, helping improve alignment, bite, and smile aesthetics — all while maintaining comfort and convenience.

WHAT ARE ALIGNERS USED FOR?

Aligners are used to correct dental irregularities such as crowding, spacing, and mild bite issues. They can address:

  • Crooked or overlapping teeth

  • Gaps between teeth

  • Improper bite (overbite, underbite, crossbite)

  • Relapse cases (when teeth shift after braces)

They are ideal for people seeking a modern, aesthetic alternative to traditional braces.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR ALIGNERS ?

Clear Aligners are suitable for most people — whether teens or adults — who have:

  • Mild to moderate alignment problems

  • Good oral hygiene and healthy gums

  • Commitment to wearing aligners for 20–22 hours a day

Your orthodontist will evaluate your teeth and suggest whether aligners are the right choice for you.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF ALIGNERS?

  • Virtually invisible – perfect for people with active social or professional lives

POST-TREATMENT CARE FOR ALIGNERS

  • Wear your retainers regularly as prescribed to prevent teeth from shifting back.

  • Maintain good oral hygiene and clean aligners gently with lukewarm water.

  • Visit your dentist for regular follow-ups to ensure long-term stability of results.

DO’S AND DON’TS WITH ALIGNERS

DO’S

  • Wear your aligners for at least 20–22 hours a day.

  • Remove them before eating or drinking anything except water.

  • Clean aligners daily with a soft brush and rinse with mild, non-abrasive soap.

  • Store aligners in their case when not in use to avoid damage or loss.

DON’TS

  • Don’t drink tea, coffee, or colored beverages while wearing aligners — they may stain.

  • Avoid hot water; it can warp the trays.

  • Don’t skip wearing your aligners — even a few missed hours can delay results.

  • Don’t use harsh toothpaste or mouthwash to clean aligners.
