Clear Aligner Orthodontics

Clear aligners straighten teeth using a series of removable, near-invisible plastic trays instead of fixed braces. At ChilliDent treatment starts with an orthodontic consultation and a planning visit, after which a custom sequence of aligners gradually moves the teeth into a better position. They suit adults and teens who want a discreet way to correct crowding, spacing or alignment, with retainers afterwards to hold the result.

Clear aligners are a modern alternative to fixed braces for straightening teeth. Instead of brackets and wires, treatment uses a series of custom-made, transparent trays that fit snugly over the teeth and apply gentle, planned pressure. Each set is worn for a couple of weeks before moving to the next, with the teeth shifting gradually towards the agreed final position. Because the trays are removable and discreet, many adults find them a convenient and low-profile option, and eating and cleaning continue as normal when they are taken out. At ChilliDent the process begins with an orthodontic consultation to assess whether aligners are suitable for your case, followed by a preparatory planning visit at which records are taken and the treatment is mapped out. A bespoke series of aligners is then produced and you progress through them as the teeth move, with periodic checks at the clinic. Aligners work well for many cases of crowding, spacing and mild-to-moderate alignment problems; very complex bites may be better served by other approaches, which the orthodontist will discuss honestly. Consistent wear — generally most of the day and night — is essential to stay on track. Once the teeth are in their new position, retention is needed to keep them there, and the clinic offers retention aligners and fixed retainers for this. The published figure is the clinic's starting price for a full aligner course; your final plan, number of aligners and total cost are confirmed after assessment.
