Clear Aligners

Dreaming of a straighter smile but don’t fancy traditional braces? You’re not alone. At Medinet Dental Surgery, we’re thrilled to offer clear aligners, a modern solution for those searching for a less noticeable orthodontic treatment.

What are clear aligners?

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, transparent, removable trays that fit snugly over your teeth. Gradually, they shift your teeth into their desired positions without the need for metal wires or brackets.

What makes clear aligners different to traditional metal braces?

There are several advantages to getting clear aligners, such as:

• They’re virtually invisible, so most people won’t even notice you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment.
• Without metal brackets or wires, clear aligners are more comfortable to wear.
• They’re removable, so you can eat, drink, brush, and floss more naturally.

Are clear aligners suitable for everyone?

While clear aligners are an excellent solution for many, they might not be suitable for everyone. They work for adults and teenagers with mild to moderate orthodontic issues.

During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your unique needs and determine if clear aligners are the right choice for you.

How does the process work?

If you want to try this revolutionary orthodontic treatment, visit us for a consultation, where we’ll examine your teeth and discuss your concerns. Once we determine that clear aligners are ideal for you, we can start the process:

• First, we’ll take scans of your teeth. These are used to create a series of aligners to move your teeth incrementally.
• You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush and floss.
• As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move until straightened to the final position.
• You will wear your aligners for anywhere between 6 to 18 months for 22 hours a day, depending on the severity of your case.

Are clear aligners easy to look after?

Absolutely. You will need to clean your aligners daily and store them in a protective case when not in use. You should also maintain your usual oral hygiene routine of brushing and flossing.
