What are clear aligners?

Clear aligners, commonly known as invisible braces, are a cutting-edge solution for correcting dental issues like teeth gaps, crossbites, open bites, overbites, and crowded teeth. These transparent, custom-made aligners are designed to fit perfectly over your teeth, offering a nearly invisible way to achieve a straight and confident smile.

Clear aligners are not only effective but also comfortable and easy to maintain. If you're considering teeth alignment or replacement, it's important to understand the cost of clear aligners and how they can transform your dental health. Their ability to address multiple dental concerns while being aesthetically pleasing makes them a top choice for achieving a perfect smile.

Cost of Clear Aligners at Apollo Dental

Clear aligners are a premium orthodontic solution designed for comfort, discretion, and efficiency. At Apollo Dental, the cost of invisible aligners begins at ₹60,000, with a typical range of ₹60,000 to ₹1,50,000 depending on the complexity of the case and the treatment duration.

How do clear aligners work?

Clear aligners are made based on the digital models made from the impressions of the teeth. 3-D computer imaging technology is used to plan and map your complete orthodontic treatment. A series of clear aligners are given to the patient for a specific period of time until the desired movement is achieved. Clear aligners have to be replaced with a new set every two to three weeks based on the planned treatment. Your teeth are progressively moved into place by the series of customized clear aligners

IS CLEAR ALIGNER TREATMENT RIGHT FOR ME?

Crossbite

Some people have a type of malocclusion where the teeth are misaligned, and some or several upper teeth fit inside the lower ones. This may impact front as well as back teeth, and in case it is the latter, it is known as a ‘posterior crossbite’.

Crowded Teeth

Some people have, what is known as, crowded teeth. In such cases, the teeth are not proportionate, as they may have twisted or grown improperly while trying to compete for space as a result more teeth are present in small space crowded.

Gap Teeth

A person who has open spaces between two or more teeth is said to have ‘gap teeth’ or a spacing issue. This leads to food getting stuck, because of pockets created between teeth and gums, leading to sore gums or gum disease.

Open Bite

In this type of misalignment, the upper and lower teeth do not meet correctly. Either due to the position of teeth, jaws or both, there is no overlapping so the teeth appear ‘open’. In the front teeth it is known as an ‘anterior open bite’, and if it occurs in the teeth at the back, it is called a ‘lateral open bite’.

Overbite

An ‘overbite’ is a very normal condition where the upper teeth overlap the lower ones. Every one of us has at least partial overbite. Orthodontists measure how much of the lower teeth are covered, to gauge whether aligners are needed

Under Bite

Contrary to an overbite, an underbite is when the lower line of teeth protrudes more than the upper teeth, giving the mouth and face a bulldog-like appearance. It is also referred to as Class III malocclusion or prognathism.

Frequently Asked Questions

Aligners are plastic trays that surround your teeth in a similar fashion to certain dental retainers. They are durable, and designed to gradually move your teeth into the correct position.

Everyone wants a charming smile. Clear aligners are now one of the best options for people who want to enhance their smile. There are primarily two types viz. in-dental office aligners and at-home aligners. The former is usually ideal, as an in-house orthodontist follows up at every step. The latter are slightly more economical, but the treatment is planned and executed remotely, without supervision.

Yes, the aligners can close gaps between your teeth, move crooked teeth into the correct position, and address bite issues. The only thing aligners cannot do is address bite problems that the jawbone causes.

Aligners are removable, and can be taken out on a daily basis. In fact, you can easily take the aligners out while making an important presentation at work, or for a photo.

You need to keep the aligners in for around 22 hours per day. Wearing the aligners less frequently will prolong your overall treatment time.

No. You need to take your aligners out every time that you eat. This is true for all of your meals, and even for snacks. You may want to have just a few crackers or a piece of fruit, but you still need to remove them at that time. This is critical for preserving their structural integrity, and for ensuring that your treatment time is not accidentally delayed due to one of them breaking.

You can drink water while wearing the aligners, but must remove the aligners to drink all other beverages. If you drink something hot like coffee or tea, you will risk warping the shape of your aligners. Any change to their shape can be detrimental to your treatment plan. The change in shape will cause your teeth to not move in the proper direction.

You are most likely to wear each set for approximately two weeks. Once the aligners begin to feel loose, it is an indication that it is time to wear the next set in the series. Remember that the aligners are putting pressure on your teeth, in order to move them into position. If the aligners are too loose, the pressure will no longer be significant enough to do so.

No. You can switch the aligners by yourself, at home, but will need to visit us for check-ups throughout the treatment process.

Yes, as long as you keep them clean, they will be difficult to notice when you smile.

Do not eat or drink with them in the mouth, except while drinking plain water. Each time after you eat, brush your teeth and rinse your aligners in warm water. We can also provide you with specific cleaning supplies.
