Straighten your teeth with confidence and discretion
Transparent dental aligners offer a modern way to improve the position of your teeth without the appearance of traditional metal braces. They are removable, comfortable and individually designed to guide the teeth through a series of controlled movements.
At Radiance Dental Hospital in Tirana, every transparent dental aligner treatment begins with a detailed orthodontic assessment and precise digital planning. Our objective is to create a treatment plan that considers your smile, bite, oral function and long-term dental health.
What are transparent dental aligners?
Transparent dental aligners are thin, custom-made trays that fit closely over the teeth. Each tray applies gentle pressure to specific areas, gradually moving the teeth towards the position planned by the orthodontist.
Patients receive a sequence of aligners rather than a single tray. Each set represents a different stage of treatment and must be changed according to the schedule provided by the Radiance dental team.
Their transparent design makes them less noticeable during conversations, professional activities and social occasions.
What can transparent dental aligners correct?
Depending on the individual case, transparent dental aligners may be used to treat:
- crowded teeth;
- gaps between teeth;
- crooked or overlapping teeth;
- mild to moderate alignment problems;
- selected cases of overbite or underbite;
- certain open-bite and crossbite conditions;
- small tooth movements after previous orthodontic treatment.
Transparent dental aligners are not suitable for every orthodontic condition. More complex cases may require another treatment approach. A complete evaluation at Radiance Dental Hospital is necessary before making a clinical recommendation.
Digital treatment planning at Radiance
Your treatment at Radiance begins with an examination of your teeth, gums and bite. A digital scan is then used to create a detailed three-dimensional model of your dental arches.
Using these clinical records, the orthodontist plans the required tooth movements and develops a personalised aligner sequence. Digital technology may also be used to present a simulation of the expected changes during treatment.
The simulation is a clinical projection and does not guarantee an identical final result. Actual progress depends on the complexity of the case, the biological response of the teeth and correct aligner use.
How does the treatment work?
1. Orthodontic consultation
The Radiance team evaluates your dental alignment, bite and general oral health. Your expectations and possible treatment options are discussed during this appointment.
2. Digital scanning
A precise digital scan records the shape and current position of your teeth. Photographs and additional diagnostic examinations may also be required.
3. Personalised planning
The orthodontist plans each stage of tooth movement and determines the number of aligners required for your case.
4. Custom aligner production
A personalised sequence of transparent dental aligners is created according to the approved digital treatment plan.
5. Daily aligner use
Each aligner must be worn for the number of hours recommended by the orthodontist. It should normally be removed only for meals, oral hygiene and specific drinks.
6. Progress appointments
Regular reviews at Radiance Dental Hospital allow the orthodontist to monitor the movement of your teeth and make any necessary adjustments.
7. Retention
After active treatment, a retainer may be recommended to help maintain the new position of your teeth.
Why choose transparent dental aligners?
Discreet appearance
The transparent material makes the aligners less visible than conventional braces.
Removable design
You can remove the aligners while eating, brushing and flossing.
Personalised fit
Every aligner is designed according to the individual shape and position of your teeth.
Easier oral hygiene
Without fixed brackets and wires, patients can continue their normal brushing and flossing routine.
Digitally guided movement
Each treatment stage is planned using digital clinical information and monitored by the Radiance orthodontic team.
How long does the treatment take?
The duration of transparent dental aligner treatment is different for every patient. It depends on the initial position of the teeth, the complexity of the bite, the number of movements required and how consistently the aligners are worn.
Simple corrections may require less time, while more complex cases can take longer. Radiance Dental Hospital can provide an individual estimate after completing your orthodontic assessment and digital treatment plan.
How should the aligners be worn?
For the planned tooth movements to occur, transparent dental aligners should be worn consistently throughout the day and night. They should only be removed according to the instructions provided by the orthodontist.
Inconsistent use may slow down progress or extend the treatment period. Patients should also attend all scheduled appointments so that the Radiance team can monitor the treatment correctly.
Caring for transparent dental aligners
Remove your aligners before eating and before drinking anything other than water. Brush your teeth before placing them back in your mouth.
Clean the aligners regularly using the method recommended by the dental team. Avoid hot water, as excessive heat can affect their shape. When the aligners are not being worn, keep them safely inside their protective case.
