Q) What are clear aligners?

Clear aligners are transparent, custom-made trays designed to gently move your teeth into the correct position over time. They are an advanced alternative to traditional braces and are almost invisible when worn.

Q) Who can get aligner treatment?

Clear aligners are suitable for:

• Crowded or overlapping teeth

• Gaps between teeth

• Mild to moderate bite issues

• Adults and teenagers

A consultation with a braces specialist dentist or orthodontist is essential to determine if aligners are right for you.

Q) How do aligners work?

After a digital scan of your teeth, a customized treatment plan is created. You wear each set of aligners for about 7–14 days before moving to the next set. Each aligner gently shifts your teeth closer to your ideal smile.

Q) Are aligners painful?

Aligners may cause mild pressure or tightness for the first day or two when you switch to a new set—this is a sign that the treatment is working. Most patients find aligners far more comfortable than traditional braces.

Q) How long do I need to wear aligners each day?

For best results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours a day. They should only be removed while eating, drinking hot beverages, brushing, or flossing.

Q) Can I eat and drink normally with aligners?

Yes! One of the biggest advantages of aligners is that they are removable.You can eat all your favourite foods—just remove your aligners before meals and clean your teeth before putting them back in.

Q) How long does aligner treatment take?

Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of the case. On average, aligner treatment can take anywhere between 6 to 18 months. At Orion Dental Specialities, we will give you a clear timeline during your consultation.

• Nearly invisible appearance

• No wires or brackets

• Better comfort

• Easier oral hygiene
