Aligners Kaise Kaam Karte Hain? A Complete Guide

Clear aligners straighten teeth using a series of custom, removable plastic trays. Each tray in the series is worn for about two weeks and moves your teeth slightly closer to their final position, before you move on to the next tray.

The Process, Step by Step

It starts with a free 3D digital scan of your teeth — no messy impression material. That scan is used to plan your entire treatment digitally, so you can see roughly how your smile will move before you commit. At Modern Dental Hospital, because our aligner lab is in-house, your first tray is manufactured on-site and ready within 24 hours* — most other Patna clinics outsource this step, which is why they typically need 2–3 weeks before your first aligner even arrives.

How Long Does It Actually Take?

Mild-to-moderate cases (crowding, spacing, minor bite issues) commonly finish in around 6 months. More involved cases can take up to 18 months. You'll get a realistic timeline for your specific case at your free consultation — not a generic number.

Aligners vs Braces — Which Fits You?

Aligners are removable, nearly invisible, and suit mild-to-moderate cases well. Very complex bite corrections may still be better suited to traditional braces. We'll recommend honestly based on your case, not push whichever costs more.
