Clear Aligners

Beauty is power; a smile is its sword." – John Ray

Clear aligners are orthodontic devices that are a transparent, plastic form of dental braces used to adjust teeth. Clear Aligners straighten teeth using a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that are custom-made specifically for your teeth. As you replace each aligner every two weeks, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week, gradually moving towards the desired final position.

More about Ultilign

​

​We'll take digital and imperium impressions of your teeth which will be sent to the Ultilign lab where their experienced technicians will design your Ultiligners with the help of 3D software to determine your treatment plan. The proposed treatment will then be analysed and approved by an appointed Orthodontist before sending your Ultiligners back to us, to fit the first set.

​

Depending on your case, a set of multiple Ultiligners will be sent to us to place in your mouth over the course of 4- 6 months. You'll receive a new set of Ultiligners every 2 weeks to make sure the teeth are moved effectively.  

​

As you progress through your treatment plan, your teeth will gradually begin to move into position and create a perfectly straight smile. During this time you will have occasional checkups with us to monitor your progress and install your new set when it is time.

 

The duration of your treatment will depend on the severity of your case and the amount of movement that needs to take place. We'll discuss the expected treatment timeline with you before your journey with us and Ultilign begins.

About Clear Aligners

  • What are Veneers?
    A veneer is a thin piece of porcelain used to re-create the natural look of teeth, while also providing strength and resilience comparable to natural tooth enamel. They are custom made to the contour of your teeth and are bonded to the tooth's original enamel during a series of small procedures.

    Veneers cover the front surface of the tooth. Implants, on the other hand, replace the entire tooth. Crowns also encase the entire tooth, while veneers only cover the front surface of the tooth (which is visible with a smile).

  • How long do Dental Implants Last?

After 3-4 days, you should be able to return to a normal diet, but avoid biting on hard items in the area of the implant until it is fully healed.

In contrast, patients who wear dentures typically experience significant bone atrophy over the years. Offer a natural-looking result: Implants fuse with the natural bone tissue.
