Clear Aligners

Straighten your teeth without wires, brackets, or anyoneknowing you’re in treatment.

OVERVIEW

What You Should Know

Clear aligners work on the same biological principle as traditional braces — sustained, controlled pressure on the periodontal ligament stimulates bone remodelling around moving teeth. What changes is the delivery mechanism: instead of brackets and wires, a series of custom-thermoformed trays applies precise forces to move teeth incrementally.

Each aligner moves teeth approximately 0.2–0.3mm. A complete course of treatment involves wearing each aligner for 1–2 weeks before progressing to the next in the series. The result is gradual, controlled tooth movement that mirrors the ClinCheck or digital plan created before treatment begins.

At I Smile Clinic, clear aligner treatment is overseen by Dr. Brijesh, whose orthodontic training gives him a biomechanical understanding of tooth movement that general practitioners — who increasingly prescribe aligners — may not possess. This expertise makes a measurable difference in outcome quality and efficiency.

SCOPE OF CARE

Conditions We Treat

Crowded Teeth

Overlapping and rotated teeth are the primary indication for clear aligners — predictably resolved in most mild to moderate cases.

Gaps and Spacing

Aligner force closes or redistributes spaces — including diastemas between front teeth — in a controlled and aesthetic manner.

Deep Bite

Precision bite ramps integrated into the aligner intrude the front teeth and reduce the depth of the vertical overlap.

Mild Underbite

Selective tooth movement repositions the dental arches relative to each other in cases where the discrepancy is dental rather than skeletal.

Relapse After Braces

Patients whose teeth have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment often achieve full correction with a shorter clear aligner course.

Pre-Prosthetic Alignment

Aligning teeth before implants, veneers, or bridges creates the ideal foundation for restorative work — with better aesthetics and longevity.

HOW IT WORKS

Your Treatment Journey

Digital Records

Intraoral scan, photographs, and X-rays create the complete picture needed to plan tooth movement digitally.

3D Treatment Simulation

Software projects your tooth movement week by week — showing the planned final result before any aligner is made.

Aligner Fabrication

Custom aligners are precision-manufactured from medical-grade thermoplastic and shipped ready to wear.

Fitting & Education

Your first aligners are seated, checked for fit, and you receive full instructions on wear time, cleaning, and changing schedule.

Completion & Retention

At the end of active treatment, custom retainers are fitted immediately to hold your result while the bone stabilises around moved teeth.

FAQs

Common Questions

Are all clear aligners the same?

No. Aligners vary significantly in material properties, attachment systems, and the sophistication of the movement planning software. Brand and prescribing clinician's expertise both influence outcome quality.
