Clear Aligner Orthodontic Treatment

Clear aligner treatment straightens teeth using a series of custom, near-invisible removable trays instead of fixed braces. At Stomatologia Pastor aligner therapy is provided within the orthodontic service after a consultation and diagnostic work-up, and is well suited to adults who want a discreet way to correct crowding, spacing or alignment. The trays are changed in sequence to move the teeth gradually.

Clear aligner orthodontics moves teeth into a better position using a planned series of transparent, custom-made trays that fit snugly over the teeth. Each aligner is worn for a set period before being swapped for the next in the sequence, applying gentle, controlled forces that gradually correct issues such as crowding, gaps, mild bite problems and general alignment. Because the trays are removable and almost invisible, many adults prefer them to fixed braces for comfort, appearance and easier cleaning. At Stomatologia Pastor, treatment begins with an orthodontic consultation and a diagnostic work-up — including records and imaging from the on-site radiology centre — used to plan the tooth movements and produce the aligner series. You wear each set as instructed (typically most of the day and night, removing them to eat and clean), progressing through the trays as your teeth move, with periodic reviews to monitor progress. Small tooth-coloured attachments are sometimes added to help certain movements. Aligner therapy may support a straighter, more even smile and easier-to-clean teeth, and at the end of treatment a retainer is needed to hold the result. It suits motivated adults and older teenagers with suitable cases; very complex problems may be better treated with fixed appliances, which the clinic also offers. The orthodontist confirms whether aligners are appropriate, the likely length of treatment and the full fee after the diagnostic assessment.
