Orthodontic Aligners

Aligners are virtually invisible and hygienic orthodontic treatment system that uses an innovative approach to effectively straighten teeth. A series of custom-made removable aligners created for Individual. These aligners are made of a virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth to gradually move them to the ideal position. Most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them, allowing you to keep your lifestyle during treatment.

We will take photos, X-rays, and either impressions or a scan of your teeth. These records will be used to make a 3D treatment plan, referred to as the ClinCheck treatment plan, which will be used to design the custom-made aligners. This 3D treatment plan will also show your likely final tooth position at the end of the treatment. Your custom-made aligners will be produced and we will then give you a series of aligners, typically 3 to 4 sets at a time. You will replace each one approximately every 2 weeks until the final position of your teeth is reached.

Like other teeth straightening approaches, Aligners are also an effective way to straighten teeth. There are also several other specific advantages to Aligner treatment:

1. Virtually invisible: Aligners are a clear alternative to braces, giving you a virtually invisible treatment option that lets you keep your confidence, beautiful smile, and lifestyle even when you are in treatment.
2. More comfortable: Aligners are comfortable, with no metal brackets to irritate your gums or the inside of your mouth.
3. Maintain oral hygiene: Aligners are removable so it’s easier to clean your teeth and maintain your oral hygiene during treatment.
4. Less Number of Appointments: Aligner treatment typically requires less number of visits than some types of braces.
5. Visualise the progressive movement: Aligner Treatment allows you to visualise each stage of the treatment process, from the beginning to the end.

Also, some patients may require additional steps like refinement, to complete the treatment.

Aligners look similar to clear retainers, teeth-whitening trays, or gum shields. A series of Aligners are custom-made for you and each aligner will contain the patient identification number (PID number).

You should wear each aligner for 20 to 22 hours a day during your treatment for best results and a timely outcome.

You will visit us for a follow-up approximately every 6-8 weeks to see how your treatment is progressing. During your follow-up, we will check the aligners if they are fitting well and make any adjustments if necessary.

If you are travelling abroad then we hand-over all the aligners at once or else you’ll be provided with enough aligners to last between visits (usually 3-4 sets at a time). We will review your progress every 6-8 weeks and new aligners will be given to you at these appointments.

Two aligner cases are provided in beginning of the treatment.

You will usually change your aligners every 2 weeks. However, it varies depending on type of malocclusion. We will give you specific instructions regarding when you need to change your aligners.

Results with the Aligner usually start showing a few months after starting treatment.

The cost of aligner treatment starts from INR 1,75,000/- (Rupees One Lakh Seventy Five Thousand). However, it varies depending on the complexity of your case and your course of treatment. Consult us to get a more accurate cost estimate of your treatment.

Yes. The cost for Aligner treatment is based upon the number of aligners required to correct the malocclusion. If it is only for upper (maxillary arch) or lower (mandibular arch), the cost varies. We suggest you the number of aligners and costing after diagnosing and planning the treatment.

If your insurance policy has orthodontic coverage, Aligner treatment could be covered to a similar extent as conventional braces. However, as medical benefits differ significantly from policy to policy, it’ll be safer to check with your health insurance provider.

Cost may be dependent on the complexity of your case and your course of treatment. However, the cost of Aligner treatment may be comparative to that of other alignment procedures.
