Clear Alignersin Parel, Mumbai
How do clear aligners work?
Clear aligners are a series of custom, transparent trays that gradually move your teeth into position. They're nearly invisible, removable for eating and brushing, and have no metal wires. You switch to a new set at regular intervals. A scan and consultation with Dr. Pooja Jain show whether aligners suit your teeth.
Who is Clear Aligners for?
It may help if you notice any of these:
- Crowded or crooked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Mild to moderate bite issues
- Adults and teens who want a discreet option to braces
Only a dental check-up can confirm what you need. These signs are a guide, not a diagnosis.

How long treatment takes
- Treatment length varies with how much the teeth need to move — often several months to a year or more. You'll get an estimate before you start.
- Aligners need to be worn about 20–22 hours a day; results depend on wearing them as advised.
- Expect pressure for a day or two with each new set; it usually settles quickly.
- Retainers are needed afterwards to stop teeth drifting back.

Clear Aligners: common questions
