What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, removable plastic trays designed to gradually move your teeth into their ideal position. Each aligner in the sequence is worn for 1–2 weeks and is precisely shaped to apply gentle, controlled pressure to specific teeth. Over time, this series of aligners shifts your teeth into perfect alignment—without metal brackets or wires.

We use advanced 3D scanning and treatment planning software to digitally map out your treatment and show you a virtual simulation of your future smile before you even begin.

Why Choose Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners offer several key advantages over traditional braces:
Z

Virtually Invisible

Made from clear, medical-grade thermoplastic, they are discreet and barely noticeable in photos or in person
Z

Removable

Take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss, with no food restrictions or complicated cleaning routines
Z

Comfortable

No metal brackets or wires to cause irritation or soreness
Z

Fewer Appointments

No need for wire adjustments; simply change to your next set of aligners at home
Z

Predictable Results

Digital planning ensures a precise, personalised path to your new smile

5. Check-Ins and Adjustments

You’ll have periodic check-ups with Dr Gwengo to monitor progress and make any necessary refinements.
Some aligners may include small, tooth-coloured attachments to help move certain teeth more effectively—these are barely noticeable and play a key role in treatment success.

What Can Clear Aligners Treat?

Clear aligners can successfully treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including:

Z

Mild to moderate crowding

Z

Spacing or gaps between teeth

Z

Overbites, underbites, and open bites

Z

General misalignment or rotated teeth

While they are highly effective for many cases, clear aligners may not be suitable for everyone. Dr Gwengo will assess your specific needs and recommend the most appropriate treatment—whether it’s aligners, braces, or a combination of both.
