Clear Aligner Orthodontics (ORTHERO)

Clear aligner treatment straightens teeth using a series of near-invisible, removable plastic trays instead of fixed braces, gradually moving teeth into a better position. Medent provides the ORTHERO aligner system, planned from models and imaging by the clinic's orthodontist. Aligners suit many cases of crowding, spacing and mild-to-moderate misalignment and appeal to adults who want a discreet option. Retainers are available to keep teeth stable once treatment is complete.

Clear aligner orthodontics uses a sequence of custom-made, transparent trays to move the teeth in small, controlled steps towards a straighter, better-aligned position. Each set of aligners is worn for a prescribed period before progressing to the next, with the trays applying gentle, planned pressure. Because they are nearly invisible and removable for eating and cleaning, aligners are a popular choice for adults and older teenagers who want to improve their smile discreetly and with fewer dietary restrictions than fixed braces. At Medent the orthodontist begins with a consultation and a full diagnostic work-up — study models or scans plus X-ray analysis — to determine whether aligners are suitable for your case and to map out the planned tooth movements. The clinic uses the ORTHERO aligner system, and treatment is monitored through review visits to check progress and fit. Aligners work well for many cases of mild-to-moderate crowding, spacing and irregular alignment, while more complex bite problems may be better suited to fixed braces, which the practice also provides; the orthodontist will advise on the most appropriate approach for your teeth. Consistent wear as instructed is essential to achieving the planned result on time. Once teeth are in their new position, a retention phase is important to keep them stable, and the clinic offers both removable (Hawley) and fixed retainers for this purpose. The orthodontist explains the likely treatment length, the number of aligner stages and the full cost at the planning stage.
