Clear Aligners in Mahim — Quick Answer
Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, clear plastic trays worn over the teeth, each one nudging teeth slightly closer to their final position before being swapped for the next in the series. They're removable for eating and brushing, and much less noticeable than fixed braces. "Clear aligners" is a category — Invisalign is one specific branded system within it, with its own material and planning software.
How Clear Aligner Treatment Works
Clear aligner treatment starts with a 3D scan or impression of your teeth, from which a full series of trays is custom-fabricated — each one designed to move your teeth slightly further than the last. You wear each tray for most of the day, removing it only to eat, drink anything but water, and brush. Every one to two weeks, you move on to the next tray in the sequence, with periodic check-ins to confirm treatment is tracking as planned.
