Dental aligners are custom-made orthodontic appliances designed to gradually move teeth into better alignment. A series of aligners is worn over time, with each set applying gentle pressure to achieve the planned tooth movement.

Aligners can help treat mild to moderate crowding, spacing between teeth, certain bite issues, and crooked teeth. A detailed orthodontic assessment is needed to determine whether aligners are suitable for your specific case.

Many teenagers and adults with healthy teeth and gums may benefit from aligner treatment. Your dentist will evaluate your bite, tooth alignment, and overall oral health before recommending the most appropriate orthodontic solution.

Treatment begins with a clinical examination, digital scans or impressions, photographs, and bite analysis. Based on these records, a customised treatment plan is created to guide the gradual movement of your teeth.

The duration varies depending on the complexity of tooth movement and how consistently the aligners are worn. Your dentist will provide an estimated treatment timeline after evaluating your orthodontic needs.

Most patients adapt quickly to wearing aligners. They are designed to fit comfortably into everyday life, allowing you to continue working, studying, and participating in social activities with minimal disruption.

Not wearing aligners consistently may delay treatment progress and affect the final results. Following your dentist's instructions helps ensure your teeth move according to the planned treatment.

Regular review appointments allow your dentist to monitor tooth movement, assess progress, and provide the next set of aligners if needed. The frequency of visits depends on your personalised treatment plan.

Properly aligned teeth are generally easier to brush and floss, which can help reduce plaque buildup and improve overall oral hygiene. Straightening teeth may also contribute to healthier gums over time.
