Clear Aligner
Clear aligner is an orthodontic treatment comprised of clear aligners that correct crooked teeth. Consult our dentists and specialist orthodontists for advice on treatment options to improve your speech, oral hygiene and bite.
What does Clear Aligner treat?
With each new set of aligners, the teeth progressively shift and acclimatize to their new position. It is an excellent treatment option for those with dental conditions such as spacing, open bite, crossbite, crowding, deep bite, and protruded teeth.
Advantages of Clear Aligner over Braces
- Almost invisible: Clear aligner is virtually invisible and can be worn without detection. If you are conscious of how you look with traditional metal braces, the clear aligner is the answer for you.
- Comfortable fit: Unlike traditional braces, the clear aligners are made of a medical-grade smart track material that fits comfortably over your teeth. You won’t have to worry about the brackets and wires dislodging and the hassle of emergency appointments. Furthermore, you can prevent getting those awful and painful ulcers from metal bracket abrasions.
- Eat with ease: While traditional braces are permanently fitted to your teeth throughout your entire treatment, Invisalign clear aligners can be removed during meals. You will be able to eat your favourite foods without worrying about bits getting trapped on wires and brackets, or hard food dislodging your brackets.
- Better oral hygiene: With clear aligner, you can remove your aligners when you brush and floss your teeth. This means it is easier for you to maintain better oral hygiene for a beautiful and healthy smile.
There are many brands of clear aligners in the market and the one with the long history and most established in the market are Invisalign & Clear Correct. Each patient has a series of customized aligners to wear over a period of time, with each aligner moving the teeth a little more each time a new set of aligners is changed, until the final aligners move the teeth to their completed position.
