What are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a series of custom-fitted, removable plastic trays that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before progressing to the next in the series, following a carefully planned sequence of tooth movements.
Unlike fixed braces, aligners can be removed while eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing — making them significantly easier to manage in daily life. Because they are transparent, most people cannot tell you are wearing them.
Removable for Daily Life
Take aligners out for meals, social occasions, and oral hygiene. No food restrictions. No special cleaning tools.
Planned and Predictable
Treatment is mapped digitally from start to finish. You know how many trays, how long treatment takes, and what the expected result looks like before you begin.
What Can Clear Aligners Correct?
Clear aligners are well-suited for mild to moderate orthodontic concerns. A clinical assessment and digital bite evaluation confirm suitability for your specific case.
Spacing and Gaps
Close gaps between teeth for a more even, balanced smile.
Crowded Teeth
Create space and align teeth that are overlapping or rotated.
Mild Overbite
Gradually reduce the vertical overlap of upper and lower front teeth.
Mild Underbite
Correct cases where lower teeth sit in front of upper teeth.
Crossbite
Address upper and lower teeth alignment across both sides of the bite.
Crooked or Rotated Teeth
Reposition individual teeth for better alignment and aesthetics.
Why Choose Smile Squad for Clear Aligners in Medavakkam?
Aligner outcomes depend as much on the planning and monitoring as they do on the trays themselves. Our orthodontic team guides your case from the first scan to the final retainer with structured check-ins and honest advice.
Specialist-Led Planning
Each aligner case is reviewed by a dentist with orthodontic training who evaluates your bite, tooth positions, and alignment goals before prescribing a treatment plan.
Digital Bite Evaluation
We use digital records and bite analysis to map tooth movements accurately and confirm that clear aligners are the right pathway for your case.

Clear Aligner FAQs — Answered by Our Team
Common questions from patients across Medavakkam, Perumbakkam, Pallikaranai, and Sholinganallur.
What are clear aligners and how do they work?
Clear aligners are custom-made, removable plastic trays worn over your teeth. Each set applies gentle, controlled pressure to move teeth gradually into the planned position. You change trays on a set schedule, and your dentist monitors progress at regular review visits.
Are clear aligners as effective as braces?
For mild to moderate alignment cases — spacing, crowding, and some bite corrections — clear aligners can be equally effective as braces. More complex bite corrections may still be better suited to fixed braces. Suitability is assessed clinically before starting.
What is the difference between clear aligners and Invisalign?
Invisalign is a branded premium clear aligner system with its own planning software (ClinCheck) and material (SmartTrack). Other high-quality clear aligner systems follow the same principle — removable transparent trays — and can be equally effective for suitable cases. Our team recommends the right system for your specific case and goals.
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Most mild to moderate cases complete in 6 to 12 months. More complex alignment goals or bite corrections can take 12 to 24 months. Your treatment plan includes a realistic timeline before you begin.
Can I eat and drink normally with clear aligners?
Yes — you remove aligners while eating or drinking anything other than water. This means no food restrictions and easier oral hygiene compared with fixed braces. Aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day for consistent results.
Do clear aligners hurt?
You may feel mild pressure or tightness for the first day or two with each new aligner set — this is a sign the trays are working. Discomfort is usually much milder than traditional braces and settles quickly as teeth adapt.
How much do clear aligners cost in Medavakkam?
Clear aligner cost depends on the complexity of your case, the number of trays needed, and any refinement aligners required. We provide a transparent cost breakdown after clinical assessment and a digital bite evaluation.
