About This Treatment

Clear Aligner Orthodontic Treatment

Invisible aligners (clear aligners) are a revolutionary orthodontic solution at Dr. Kohila's Dental Centre in Salem. Unlike traditional metal braces, these transparent, removable trays gradually shift your teeth into ideal alignment without anyone knowing you're undergoing treatment. Perfect for adults and teens who want straight teeth without the appearance of metal brackets.

Using advanced 3D scanning technology, we create a series of custom-made clear aligners tailored to your teeth. You wear each set for about 2 weeks before moving to the next set in the series. Each aligner applies gentle pressure to move teeth incrementally. The entire treatment typically takes 6-18 months depending on complexity.

The best part? Aligners are removable, allowing you to eat whatever you want, brush and floss normally, and remove them for important events. They're virtually invisible, comfortable, and deliver predictable results with fewer office visits than traditional braces.

Common Questions

FAQs

How long does aligner treatment take?

Treatment time is often faster than braces! Average time is 6-18 months. Simple straightening can take just 6 months. You wear each set of aligners for 1-2 weeks before switching to the next. You must wear them for 20-22 hours/day. Because aligners apply constant, precise force, they can move teeth efficiently. We'll give you an exact timeline during your consultation.

Are aligners really invisible?

Yes! They are made of clear, medical-grade plastic that is virtually undetectable when worn. Most people won't notice you're wearing them unless they are very close. They fit snugly over your teeth like a second skin. No metal wires or brackets to ruin your smile in photos. It's the perfect choice for adults and professionals!

Can I eat and drink with aligners?

One of the biggest benefits is no food restrictions! You REMOVE the aligners to eat and drink (except water). You can enjoy popcorn, nuts, apples, and sticky foods that are banned with braces. Just brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in to prevent trapping food/sugar. This also makes oral hygiene much easier than with braces.

Are aligners painful?

Aligners are generally much more comfortable than braces. There are no wires to poke your cheeks. You may feel mild pressure or "tightness" for 1-2 days when you switch to a new set of trays – this is a sign they are working! The discomfort is minimal compared to braces adjustments and usually requires no pain medication.

Do I need to visit the dentist often?

Fewer visits than braces! You typically visit us every 6-8 weeks for a quick checkup and to collect your next sets of aligners. With braces, you need monthly adjustments. Aligners are great for busy schedules or patients traveling from outside Salem. We can even monitor some progress remotely!
