What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a modern orthodontic appliance made from smooth, BPA-free transparent plastic. Unlike traditional braces, they are custom-fabricated for your teeth using digital scanning technology and worn in a sequence of trays, each tray gently shifting your teeth a small amount closer to the final position.
Each tray is typically worn for 1–2 weeks, for 20–22 hours per day. Aligners are removed only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, making oral hygiene and routine dental care significantly easier to maintain compared to fixed braces.
Clear aligners are suitable for correcting:
- Mild to moderate crowding and overlapping teeth
- Gaps and spacing between teeth
- Mild overbite, underbite, and crossbite
- Protruding front teeth (mild cases)
- Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
For severe crowding or complex bite issues, traditional braces remain more effective. Our Consultant Orthodontist will assess your case and advise whether aligners or braces are the better option for you.

FAQ - Clear Aligners Near Me in Kolkata
How long do I need to wear aligners each day?
Clear aligners must be worn for 20-22 hours per day for the treatment to work on schedule. They are removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. Consistently wearing them as prescribed is the single biggest factor in achieving a good result on time.
Can I eat and drink normally with clear aligners?
Yes – aligners are fully removable. Remove them before every meal and rinse your mouth before putting them back. Avoid eating or drinking hot beverages while wearing aligners as heat can distort the plastic tray. There are no dietary restrictions with aligners, unlike traditional braces. Maintaining good oral hygiene habits throughout treatment is important.
Are clear aligners painful?
Clear aligners cause mild pressure and some initial tightness each time you move to a new tray – this is normal and indicates your teeth are moving. The discomfort is significantly less than traditional braces as there are no wires or brackets. Most patients adjust within 1-2 days per new tray.
How long does clear aligner treatment take in Kolkata?
Treatment duration ranges from 6 months for simple cases to 18 months for more complex alignment issues. The exact timeline depends on the severity of misalignment, how consistently you wear your aligners, and your response to treatment. Your orthodontist will give you a projected timeline during your 3D planning session.
Do clear aligners work for overbite or underbite?
Clear aligners can correct mild overbites and underbites effectively. For more significant bite discrepancies, traditional fixed braces or a combination approach may be recommended. In cases requiring tooth replacement before bite correction, Dental Implants or Prosthodontics may be part of the treatment plan. Our Consultant Orthodontist will assess your bite at the free consultation.
What happens after clear aligner treatment ends?
After your final aligner tray, a retainer is prescribed – either removable (worn at night) or fixed (bonded behind teeth). Retainers prevent relapse. Many patients follow up aligner treatment with Cosmetic Dentistry – teeth whitening is especially popular after aligners since the newly straightened teeth respond beautifully to whitening treatment.
