Orthodontics has come a long way since the days of metal braces and bulky appliances. Today, achieving a perfectly aligned smile doesn’t have to involve noticeable wires or discomfort. Clear aligners have revolutionized orthodontic treatment, offering a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces.
At Iris Dental Care, we are proud to introduce Align Pro Aligners, our in-house aligner brand. Designed with cutting-edge technology and crafted in-house, these aligners are tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. They offer an affordable and efficient solution for those looking to improve their smile with minimal hassle.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are transparent, custom-made trays designed to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Unlike traditional braces, which rely on brackets and wires, aligners use gentle, consistent pressure to achieve the desired alignment.
The process involves wearing a series of aligners, each designed to move your teeth a little closer to their final position. These aligners are typically changed every 1–2 weeks, ensuring steady progress throughout the treatment.
Benefits of Clear Aligners Over Traditional Braces
- Aesthetic Appeal
One of the biggest advantages of clear aligners is their virtually invisible appearance. They are an excellent choice for young adults and professionals who want to straighten their teeth discreetly.
- Comfort
With no brackets or wires, clear aligners are smooth and gentle on the gums and cheeks. They eliminate the risk of irritation often associated with traditional braces.
- Removable
Clear aligners can be easily removed for eating, brushing, or special occasions, offering unmatched flexibility.
- Hygiene-Friendly
Unlike braces, which can make cleaning your teeth a challenge, aligners allow you to maintain excellent oral hygiene by removing them during brushing and flossing.
- Fewer Dental Visits
Clear aligners require fewer adjustments, meaning less time spent in the dental chair. Regular follow-ups are quick and hassle-free.
How Are Align Pro Aligners Different?
At Iris Dental Care, we have gone a step further by developing our own brand of clear aligners, Align Pro Aligners, which offer several unique advantages:
In-House Design and Fabrication: By designing and crafting aligners in-house, we ensure precision, customization, and faster results.
Customization: Every aligner is tailored to address the specific orthodontic needs of each patient.
Affordability: Align Pro Aligners are more cost-effective than many other aligner brands without compromising on quality.
Quick Turnaround: With no external manufacturing delays, patients receive their aligners faster, enabling quicker treatment initiation.
Who Can Benefit from Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are ideal for individuals with mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including:
Crowding: When teeth overlap due to insufficient space.
Spacing: Gaps between teeth that can affect aesthetics and function.
Overbites or Underbites: When the upper or lower teeth protrude excessively.
Crossbites: Misaligned teeth that can cause uneven wear.
Relapse Cases: Minor misalignments that occur after previous orthodontic treatment.
The Process: What to Expect
- Consultation and Assessment
The journey begins with a thorough examination to determine your suitability for aligners.
Digital scans or impressions of your teeth are taken to plan your treatment.
- Treatment Planning
Using advanced software, a personalized treatment plan is created, mapping out every step of the process.
You’ll also get a preview of your final smile, giving you a clear idea of the expected results.
- Aligner Fabrication
Your aligners are crafted in-house using precise technology, ensuring a perfect fit and effective movement.
- Treatment Phase
Patients wear their aligners for 20–22 hours a day, changing to a new set every 1–2 weeks.
Regular check-ups are conducted to monitor progress and make adjustments if needed.
- Retention Phase
After completing treatment, retainers are provided to maintain your new alignment and prevent relapse.
