Clear Aligners & Invisalign

What are Clear Aligners: Clear Aligners in Ahmedabad

Misaligned or crooked teeth are not only an aesthetic concern but also have a significant risk to oral health. The teeth perfectly aligned are easier to clean, enabling you to maintain better oral hygiene. If there is a plaque build-up due to improper cleaning, it leads to gum problems and may cause tooth loss. Traditional methods use braces to correct the misaligned teeth utilizing brackets and wire networks to pull your teeth into a more favorable position. 

However, the braces treatment might not be the first choice for someone looking for a more aesthetic solution. At Oris Smiles Dental Clinic, our chief dentist, Dr. Janu Shah, with her team of experts, provide a more aesthetic solution in the form of clear braces.

The right candidate for Clear Aligners: Clear Aligners in Ahmedabad

Good oral hygiene

Maintaining good oral hygiene is necessary for the effective movement of the teeth. With plaque accumulation, gum diseases start, which can spread to the supporting tissue of the teeth and hamper movement.

No personal habits

Habits like chewing or tobacco smoking are detrimental to your tooth movement. The clear aligners must be applied long and should only be removed while eating or drinking. Removing aligners frequently will not fetch results.

Misalignment cases

Clear braces can effectively manage the misaligned teeth. The duration of the treatment depends on the severity of the misalignment. For a customized treatment plan, it is best to get your complete clinical examination by our chief smile expert, Dr. Janu Shah, at Oris Smiles Dental Clinic.

All permanent teeth present

All the permanent teeth are necessary to move the concerned teeth into the desired location effectively. Multiple missing teeth will not allow smooth aligner therapy.

How does Invisalign work: Invisalign in Ahmedabad

Invisalign or clear braces are transparent plates that fit snugly onto the teeth. These plates apply a constant force on the teeth to move them. The surrounding supporting tissues of the tooth feel this force and modulate themselves, allowing bone dissolution on one side and deposition on the other. This bony change allows the teeth to get into the new position. Once the teeth reach their desired location, the force applied is reduced, and the new bone starts forming around it to help secure the new position. After the clear braces or Invisalign therapy, retainers are also provided to help maintain the teeth in their new positions.
