KEY ADVANTAGES TO DOCTORS

An aligner is a clear plastic tray almost similar to the tray used for teeth whitening but aligner moves teeth.

Aligners are removable, custom made appliances which SHOULD fit snugly on patient’s teeth.

What is an aligner?

Aligner basically works on resilient property of the plastic material by which it is made.

How does aligner work?

Brief introduction

Clinical teeth Laboratory teeth

Can one aligner straighten teeth ???

NO….

……but a series of aligners can.

Brief introduction

Each aligner moves teeth a little bit at a time and eventually our patient can have

straight teeth.

Hence a series of aligners are required to correct the malocclusion.

Each aligner has got a small amount of movement for selected teeth.

When aligner is inserted in patient’s mouth, plastic applies pressure on teeth; this

pressure will gradually shift and guide these teeth into the alignment dictated by

the shape of the aligner. Then next aligner is inserted and so on…..
