Clear Aligners

Clear Aligners is a way to straighten your teeth without braces. It uses a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets. The aligners are made through a combination of your orthodontist's expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology.

Advantages:

• Invisible, very thin, and don't impede speech

• Ideal for adult patients who are reluctant to have a lengthy orthodontic treatment wearing metal brackets or bulky removable appliances

• An excellent tool for final correction after orthodontic treatment, or Inman Aligner

• Can realign teeth after relapse post-orthodontic treatment

• Best for aligning mild crowding of anterior teeth

• Most effective in labial, lingual & rotation movement with some limited intrusion and extrusion

• A single posterior tooth can be moved buccally or lingually

• Simple cases can be finished with only two or three aligners

How they work:

• Upper and lower silicone-based impressions are sent to the lab, where plaster casts are made and the case is assessed

• Up to five aligners can be made out of each impression

• Each aligner comes with a card indicating Inter Proximal Reduction instructions

• Each aligner should be worn for about two weeks

• Care instructions for patient will be enclosed

• Please note that in some cases the estimated number of aligners will not achieve the desired result and more aligners will have to be made
