What is Basic Orthodontic Treatment?

Straighter teeth are not just about appearance. Better aligned teeth are easier to clean, less prone to uneven wear, and can improve your overall oral health in the long term.
What is Clear Aligner Treatment?
A clear aligner is a transparent, removable orthodontic appliance used to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. It serves as an alternative to traditional metal braces.
Clear aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth and gradually move them into the desired position through a series of aligners that are changed every 1–2 weeks. They are typically worn for 20–22 hours per day and removed only for eating, drinking (except water), brushing, and flossing.
Common benefits include:
- Virtually invisible appearance
- Removable for eating and oral hygiene
- More comfortable than traditional braces, with no metal brackets or wires
- Fewer orthodontic visits in many cases
