What Are Teeth Aligners ?

Teeth aligners are custom-made, clear, plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth. They work by applying controlled and gentle pressure on specific areas of your teeth to gradually move them into their desired positions. Unlike traditional braces with wires and brackets, aligners are virtually invisible, making them a discreet option for orthodontic treatment.

Common Reasons for aligners

Crooked Teeth

Aligners can straighten crooked teeth, improving their alignment and overall appearance.

Spacing Issues

Aligners can close gaps or spaces between teeth, eliminating unwanted gaps and achieving a more even smile.

Overcrowding

When there's not enough space in the jaw for teeth to fit properly, causing crowding, aligners can create space and align teeth correctly.

Overbites

An overbite occurs when the upper front teeth overlap significantly with the lower front teeth. Aligners can help correct this misalignment.

Underbites

An underbite occurs when the lower front teeth overlap the upper front teeth. Aligners can be used to shift the lower teeth backward and correct this issue.

Crossbites

Crossbites involve misalignment where some upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth when biting. Aligners can address this by repositioning the affected teeth.

Open Bites

An open bite occurs when the upper and lower front teeth do not meet when the mouth is closed. Aligners can help close the bite.

Relapse After Braces

Some individuals experience relapse, where teeth shift out of alignment after traditional braces. Aligners can be used to correct these minor relapses.

Aesthetic Improvements

Some people seek teeth aligners for aesthetic reasons, even if they don't have significant orthodontic issues. Aligners can help improve the overall appearance of the smile.
