What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a modern orthodontic solution designed to straighten teeth discreetly and comfortably. Unlike traditional metal braces, clear aligners are made from transparent, medical-grade plastic, making them virtually invisible when worn. They are custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth, gradually shifting them into the desired position.

At Kairon Polyclinic in Dubai, our expert dental team uses advanced 3D scanning technology to design aligners that offer precision, comfort, and results without the inconvenience of brackets or wires. Whether you have crowding, spacing, or bite alignment issues, clear aligners can transform your smile without disrupting your daily life.

How Do Clear Aligners Work?

The treatment process starts with a detailed dental examination and digital impressions of your teeth. Using these scans, we create a personalized treatment plan showing your smile’s step-by-step transformation.
You’ll receive a series of aligners, each slightly adjusted to move your teeth incrementally. Every one to two weeks, you switch to the next set in the series.

This gradual adjustment ensures effective, controlled movement of your teeth while minimizing discomfort. Clear aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours per day, removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and oral hygiene. Depending on your case complexity, treatment may last from a few months to about two years.

Who Needs Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are suitable for both teens and adults who want to straighten their teeth without the appearance or restrictions of metal braces. They are recommended for:

  • Mild to moderate crowding
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbite, underbite, or crossbite
  • Patients seeking a discreet orthodontic solution
  • People who have had braces before and experienced minor relapse

 

However, for severe misalignments or complex bite issues, traditional orthodontic treatments may be more suitable. At Kairon Polyclinic, we will assess your dental condition and recommend the most effective solution for your needs.

Where Can Clear Aligners Be Used?

Clear aligners can address orthodontic issues in both the upper and lower arches. They are effective for:

  • Aligning visible front teeth for cosmetic improvement
  • Correcting dental crowding in molars and premolars
  • Improving bite function by adjusting the position of back teeth

 

Their versatility allows them to treat a variety of cases while maintaining aesthetics throughout the treatment.
