Opis

Clear Aligners are transparent trays made of special material which are used to straighten teeth just like braces. They use gentle and constant force to move the teeth in the required position without going through the hassles of metal wires and brackets. They are custom made for each patient and designed to move teeth in the desired direction very slowly. This is achieved by digitally capturing impression and processing the information using specialized software, where the future projections for better results and straighter teeth are computed and then the milling machine automatically custom fabricates the set of trays. On average, a person needs approximately 25-40 sets for complete alignment. The aligners come with an advantage i.e. they are very snugly fitting which over a period becomes virtually a part of the body and hence causes no speech problems. There are no restrictions on eating and drinking any foods as they are removed before every meal. Aligners are one of the safest orthodontics treatment and most patients get accustomed to aligners within 2-3 weeks.
