Clear Aligners

Clear-aligner therapy has become a large growing segment of orthodontic treatment due to the digital
technology. Clear aligners are an orthodontic treatment option for patients seeking esthetics (without
brackets and with a few accessories) and comfort. Clear aligners have made it a good option for orthodontic
treatment. The growth of the adult market in orthodontics is largely driven by the improvement of clear
aligner treatment. This change in modality continues to drive adults into orthodontic treatment and has
started to change the expectations of adolescents. There are many communities where children look
forward to the alternative to braces.
Clear aligners seem to have come to stay, and be the future of orthodontics. Currently, even children
have been indicated for treatment with aligners. Most outcome studies are linked to the development of the
Invisalign product as they are the market leader.
.Clear orthodontics” is based on the use of individual, removable transparent sequential aligners.
The fabrication of clear aligners is based on virtual planning through software or non-computerized (wax
setup) to perform gradual dental movements on teeth that are not in their ideal and healthy positions. Like
traditional braces, aligners are designed to move teeth a little at a time.
