Clear Aligners
Discreetly Straightening Your Smiles

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a modern orthodontic treatment designed to straighten teeth without the need for traditional metal braces. Made from transparent, medical-grade plastic, these removable aligners gradually shift teeth into their correct position through a series of customized trays. Clear aligners are a popular choice for individuals looking for a discreet, comfortable, and effective way to achieve a straighter smile.
Unlike conventional braces, clear aligners do not use brackets or wires and can be removed for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene. They are custom-made for each patient, ensuring precise and predictable tooth movement over time. The treatment process typically lasts between 6 to 18 months, depending on the severity of misalignment.
At Dental & Facial Clinic, we offer high-quality clear aligner treatments tailored to each patient’s needs. Whether you have mild crowding, spacing issues, or bite misalignment, clear aligners provide a convenient and aesthetically pleasing solution for orthodontic correction.
Common Dental Issues That Clear Aligners Can Fix
Clear aligners are highly effective in correcting a wide range of orthodontic concerns. One of the most common issues they address is crowded teeth, where teeth overlap due to a lack of space in the jaw. This can make oral hygiene difficult, leading to higher risks of cavities and gum disease.
Another common problem is gapped teeth, where excessive spacing between teeth affects both function and aesthetics. Clear aligners help close these gaps, creating a more uniform and attractive smile.
Additionally, clear aligners can correct mild to moderate bite issues, including overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. A misaligned bite can cause jaw pain, uneven tooth wear, and difficulty chewing, all of which can be improved with aligner therapy.
While severe orthodontic problems may still require traditional braces, clear aligners offer an effective, comfortable, and discreet solution for many patients seeking a straighter, healthier smile.

Step-by-Step Guide to Getting Clear Aligners

The process of getting clear aligners at Dental & Facial Clinic is simple and begins with an initial consultation to assess your dental needs.
Step 1: Consultation & Assessment
Your dentist will examine your teeth, take digital scans or impressions, and discuss your treatment goals.
Step 2: Customized Treatment Plan
Using advanced 3D imaging, a series of clear aligners will be designed to gradually move your teeth into the desired position.
Step 3: Receiving Your Aligners
Once your custom aligners are ready, you’ll receive your first set and instructions on wearing them for 20-22 hours per day.
Step 4: Final Results & Retainer
Once treatment is complete, retainers will be provided to maintain your new smile and prevent teeth from shifting back.
Why Choose Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners offer numerous advantages over traditional braces, making them a preferred choice for many patients. The most significant benefit is their discreet appearance—since they are transparent, they are virtually invisible when worn.
Another advantage is comfort. Unlike metal braces, which can cause irritation due to wires and brackets, clear aligners are made from smooth plastic, reducing the risk of discomfort. They are also removable, allowing patients to eat, drink, and maintain oral hygiene without restrictions.
Clear aligners provide predictable results thanks to computerized treatment planning, ensuring a well-controlled and effective orthodontic process. With fewer dental visits compared to braces, they offer a convenient and time-efficient alternative for busy individuals.
At Dental & Facial Clinic, we provide customized clear aligner treatments tailored to each patient’s dental needs, ensuring a comfortable and successful journey toward a straighter smile.
