What is Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, transparent trays that gradually move your teeth into their ideal position. They're removable, comfortable, and barely visible — making them a popular choice for working professionals, brides and grooms, and anyone who prefers a discreet treatment.

Common questions

Clear Aligners FAQs

Are clear aligners as effective as braces?

For most mild to moderate cases, yes. For severe bite or rotation issues, traditional braces may still be the better option — your orthodontist will give an honest recommendation.

How long is clear aligner treatment?

Typical treatment ranges from 6 to 18 months depending on the complexity of your case.

Will aligners affect my speech?

Most patients adjust within a few days. Any minor lisp settles quickly as your tongue gets used to the trays.

How much do clear aligners cost in Bengaluru?

Cost depends on case complexity and the aligner brand chosen. We share a transparent estimate after your assessment.
