Frequently Asked Questions
Can anyone get teeth aligners?
Clear Aligners are an ideal orthodontic treatment for people of all ages. However, compliance is an issue in the case of children.
The results are permanent only if patients practice proper aftercare. There is a natural tendency for teeth to relapse after teeth aligners are removed; also, dental shifting is part of the human aging process. Ideally, retainers are used to avoid any chances of relapse. Patients can either opt for either fixed or removable retainers to ensure the results are permanent.
What can Clear Aligners Treat?
Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, can treat a variety of different cases, including:
· Crowded teeth — when the teeth overlap
· Overbites — when the upper front teeth overlap with the lower front teeth
· Underbites — when the lower front teeth overlap with the upper front teeth
· Diastemas — when there are small or large gaps between the teeth
· Open bites — when the front upper and lower teeth slant outward and do not touch when the mouth is shut.
· Misaligned primary (baby) teeth —Children starting at 6 years of age are candidates for this treatment also. As well as adults.

Invisalign®
Invisalign is now the most popular and widely-known clear aligner available. Invisalign aligners are made from SmartTrack® material that is specifically engineered for the Invisalign system.
The material claims to provide a more accurate, comfortable, and quicker treatment experience than other clear aligners on the market. In fact, Invisalign treatment time is up to 50% faster with 75% more teeth straightening predictability.
Clear Aligners Treatment Plan
Each aligner is custom made for each patient through a digital scan. This is achieved by digitally capturing impression and processing the information using specialized software, and then the milling machine at Invisalign automatically custom fabricates the set of trays for you.
From that information, the orthodontist can arrive at a diagnosis, and then work within the aligner software to design your smile and plan the treatment process – which tooth moves where, and in what order – guiding teeth into healthy positions.
On average, a person needs approximately 25-40 sets for complete alignment.
Most people see their orthodontist for a check-up about every six-to-ten weeks.
It is recommended aligners be worn 22 hours a day, or as prescribed by the orthodontist. Each set of aligners is worn for two weeks approximately before going to the next set.
Over time, teeth reach their ideal places, according to the orthodontist’s plan and the patient’s cooperation. The total number of aligners will vary by the needs of each patient.
10 Detailed Reasons to pick Invisalign:
1. Discreet Treatment:
Invisalign aligners are also custom fit to your smile so they don’t feel (or look) bulky. For this reason, Invisalign doesn’t irritate your gums like traditional braces. Since Invisalign exerts pressure to move teeth into optimal alignment, you will experience temporary dental discomfort for a day or two. However, most of our patients quickly adapt to their new aligners.
2. Customised Comfort:
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly. This translates to enhanced comfort and reduces the likelihood of irritation or soreness often associated with metal brackets and wires.
3. Removable Convenience:
One of the most significant advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. You can take them out while eating, brushing, or even on your special day – whether that is your wedding day, birthday or an anniversary.which means no restrictions to your confidence, diet and no complex cleaning routines. Just pop them back in after!
4. Faster Results:
Invisalign treatment can yield quicker results compared to traditional braces. The advanced technology used in designing the aligners ensures that teeth move more efficiently, potentially reducing the overall treatment duration.
5. Digital Precision:
Invisalign treatment begins with a 3D digital scan of your teeth, which means our DentalOne specialist orthodontists can deliver precise treatment planning. This advanced technology helps in predicting the movement of your teeth and giving you a sneak peek into your future smile.
6. Minimal Disruptions:
Traditional braces can require frequent adjustments and visits to the orthodontist. With Invisalign, you’ll need fewer appointments, giving you more time to focus on what matters most to you.
7. Improved Oral Hygiene:
Since Invisalign is removable, you can continue your normal oral hygiene routine. People with braces, on the other hand, have to adopt a more involved routine to maintain oral health.
For example, when wearing braces you have to thread the floss underneath wires to remove plaque and food particles between teeth. This action must be repeated for each tooth in order to maneuver around each glued-on bracket.
Flossing with Invisalign is easy. Simply remove your clear aligners and floss normally. It’s not uncommon for people with braces to stop flossing because it’s too much of a hassle. As a result, they may be more at risk for cavities and gum disease. By choosing Invisalign, you get to avoid all this by maintaining your normal oral hygiene routine.
8. Predictable Outcomes:
Thanks to the digital treatment plan, you’ll have a clear understanding of how your smile will progress over time. This predictability is a reassuring aspect of Invisalign treatment and especially helpful when you want to improve your smile for your special event such as a wedding.
9. Gradual Shift, Minimal Discomfort:
Invisalign aligners work by gently shifting your teeth into place, This gradual approach not only reduces discomfort but also contributes to the longevity of your smile post-treatment, without anyone ever knowing.
10. Boosted Confidence:
A straight and beautiful smile can work wonders for your confidence. With Invisalign, you’ll be able to see the progress as your teeth align, providing motivation throughout the treatment journey.
