Clear aligners are custom-made, removable orthodontic trays designed to gradually improve the position of the teeth. They offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces for patients who want orthodontic treatment with minimal impact on their everyday appearance.
At Radiance Dental Hospital, every clear aligner treatment starts with a detailed clinical assessment. We evaluate the alignment of the teeth, bite function, gum health and individual treatment goals before creating a personalised orthodontic plan.
How clear aligner treatment works
Clear aligners are worn in a planned sequence. Each set is designed to apply gentle, controlled pressure to specific teeth. As treatment progresses, the patient changes to a new set of aligners according to the orthodontist’s instructions.
Digital scans and clinical records help the dental team plan the treatment accurately and monitor the movement of the teeth throughout each stage.
What can clear aligners correct?
Depending on the diagnosis, clear aligners may be used to address:
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Mild tooth rotations
- Uneven dental alignment
- Certain bite irregularities
- Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
Not every orthodontic issue can be treated with clear aligners. A professional examination is necessary to determine whether this option is appropriate for your case.
Everyday benefits of removable aligners
Because clear aligners can be removed, patients can take them out for meals and oral hygiene. This makes brushing and flossing easier than with many fixed orthodontic appliances.
For treatment to remain effective, aligners must be worn consistently for the daily duration recommended by the dentist. Regular use is essential to keep the teeth moving according to the planned schedule.
Are clear aligners comfortable?
Some pressure may be felt when starting a new set of aligners. This is commonly associated with the planned movement of the teeth and usually becomes less noticeable as the patient adapts. If you experience persistent discomfort or an aligner does not fit properly, the clinical team should be contacted.
How long does treatment take?
The duration of clear aligner treatment varies from one patient to another. It depends on the complexity of the dental movements, the patient’s compliance and the desired outcome. After your consultation, Radiance Dental Hospital can provide a tailored treatment plan and explain the expected stages.
