Gone are the days when achieving straighter teeth meant years of visible metal braces. Thanks to clear aligner technology, orthodontic treatment is now discreet, comfortable, and lifestyle-friendly — without compromising on results.
At OPUS Dental Specialities, we’ve seen firsthand how clear aligners have transformed the journey to a confident smile. Here’s a step-by-step guide to how they work.
Step 1: Consultation & Smile Assessment
Every aligner journey begins with a detailed consultation. We assess:
- Tooth alignment and bite issues
- Oral hygiene and gum health
- Patient expectations and lifestyle
Using digital scans and photos, we evaluate whether you’re a suitable candidate for clear aligners.
Step 2: Digital Scanning & 3D Smile Simulation
No more uncomfortable molds! We use intraoral scanners to create precise digital impressions of your teeth.
🖥️ These scans are used to:
- Design your custom aligner trays
- Generate a 3D simulationof your treatment plan
- Preview how your smile will transform — before treatment begins
Step 3: Custom Aligner Fabrication
Based on your scans, a series of custom aligners are created. Each set is designed to make gradual, controlled movements, shifting your teeth step-by-step into alignment.
✅ Aligners are:
- Transparent and virtually invisible
- Removable (for eating, brushing, flossing)
- Made from medical-grade, BPA-free plastic
Step 4: Wearing Your Aligners (Consistency is Key!)
- Each set of aligners is worn for 20–22 hours a day, and replaced every 1–2 weeks as prescribed.
- Patients come in for check-ups every 4–6 weeks to monitor progress, make adjustments, and stay on track.
On average, treatment can range from 6 to 18 months, depending on complexity.
Step 5: Reveal Your New Smile – and Retain It!
- Once your teeth are aligned, it’s time for the final reveal — a confident, beautifully aligned smile.
- But the journey doesn’t end there! You’ll be provided with a retainer to maintain the results and prevent teeth from shifting over time.
