Clear Aligners in Surat

Aligners

Clear aligners are a series of custom, transparent trays that apply gentle pressure to move teeth step by step. They are removable and discreet, but they depend on consistent daily wear to work as planned.

Treatment overview

Each set of aligners is worn for a set period before moving to the next. Treatment is planned digitally from scans or impressions of your teeth, so you can discuss the intended movement before starting.

Aligners can address many cases of crowding, spacing and some bite issues. More complex tooth movements may be better suited to braces — your dentist will explain which approach fits your teeth.

Why patients discuss this treatment

  • Mild to moderate crowding or spacing
  • Teeth that have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment
  • A preference for a removable, less visible appliance
  • You are comfortable committing to wearing trays most of the day

These are common reasons only. Only an examination can determine whether this treatment is appropriate for you.

Assessment & treatment journey

  1. 1

    Orthodontic assessment

    Examination, X-rays and photos help determine whether aligners are suitable.

  2. 2

    Digital scan & plan

    Your teeth are scanned and a treatment plan is prepared showing the planned stages.

  3. 3

    Fitting

    Your first aligners are fitted; small tooth-coloured attachments may be bonded to help movement.

  4. 4

    Progress reviews

    Regular check-ins monitor fit and progress, with refinements if needed.

  5. 5

    Retention

    Retainers are provided to help keep teeth in their new positions.

Potential benefits

  • Discreet appearance compared with metal braces
  • Removable for eating, brushing and flossing
  • No brackets or wires to catch on the cheeks
  • Digital planning lets you see the intended movement

Limitations & considerations

  • Requires wear for most of the day — usually around 20–22 hours, as advised
  • Not suitable for every type of tooth movement
  • Aligners can be lost or damaged if not stored carefully
  • Retainers are needed afterwards to reduce relapse

Aftercare

  • Remove aligners to eat and drink anything other than plain water
  • Brush your teeth before putting aligners back in
  • Clean aligners gently with cool water; avoid hot water, which can warp them
  • Always store them in their case when not wearing them
