# Clear Aligners in Keshav Puram, New Delhi

> Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays that gradually straighten your teeth. You wear them about 22 hours a day and remove them only to eat, drink and brush. They suit mild to moderate crowding, gaps and bite problems.

- Wear: About 22 hours a day
- New trays: Every 1 to 2 weeks
- Treatment: Often 6 to 18 months
- Consultation: From ₹100

## Who it is for

Aligners may suit you if you have:

- Mild to moderate crowding
- Small gaps between teeth
- Teeth that have shifted after earlier braces
- Mild bite problems
- A preference for a discreet, removable option

**Aligners work only if you**

- Wear them about 22 hours every day
- Take them out only to eat, drink and brush
- Keep each tray for the full time advised

## What happens, step by step

1. **Consultation and scan.** Dr. Sneha checks whether aligners suit you and takes scans and photographs.
2. **Digital plan.** Your treatment is planned on screen, showing how each tooth will move.
3. **Your first trays.** The aligners are fitted. Small tooth-coloured attachments may be added to help them grip.
4. **Changing trays.** You move to a new set of trays as advised, usually every one to two weeks.
5. **Retainer.** When treatment ends, a retainer keeps your teeth in place.

## How long it takes

- About 22 hours: of wear every day
- Every 1 to 2 weeks: a new set of trays
- 6 to 18 months: typical treatment time

Mild cases can finish in under a year. Results depend on wearing the trays consistently.

## Is it painful?

Aligners do not hurt to wear. A new tray can feel tight for a day or two, which shows it is working.

## Aftercare

- Brush and floss before putting the trays back in.
- Drink only plain water with the trays in.
- Keep the trays in their case when they are out.
- Clean the trays daily as shown at your visit, and wear your retainer after treatment.

Call the clinic if a tray cracks, feels loose or causes sharp pain.

## Cost

The cost depends on how many trays your plan needs. Dr. Sneha confirms it in your treatment plan.

Consultation from ₹100.

## Questions about aligners

**Are aligners really invisible?**

They are clear and hard to notice when worn.

**How many hours a day must I wear them?**

About 22 hours a day. Taking them out more often slows the treatment.

**Can I eat with aligners in?**

No. Take them out to eat and drink anything other than plain water, then brush before putting them back.

**Do aligners hurt?**

A new tray may feel tight for a day or two. This pressure is normal.

**Aligners or braces: which is better?**

Aligners suit mild to moderate cases and people who want a removable option. Braces suit most cases, including complex ones.
