Clear Aligners / Invisalign

1. What is Clear Aligners / Invisalign and when is it needed?

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, transparent plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth. Each aligner tray is worn for 1–2 weeks and gradually moves your teeth toward their ideal position. They are virtually invisible, removable, and free from the metal brackets and wires of conventional braces.

2. How do I know if I need Clear Aligners / Invisalign?

Clear aligner therapy at Royaldent in Vadakara, Kerala uses cutting-edge 3D digital scanning technology to map your current tooth positions and design a series of precisely calibrated aligner trays. Each tray in the series makes tiny, incremental tooth movements that collectively produce dramatic alignment results — all without a single metal bracket or wire. Clear aligners are suitable for treating mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and bite issues. You wear them for a minimum of 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink anything other than water, and to brush and floss. The freedom to remove aligners makes oral hygiene straightforward and social occasions effortless. Digital treatment simulations allow you to see a preview of your expected results before starting.
