Removable clear aligners are now a mainstream choice for discreet teeth straightening. Plenty of patients across Narachan choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. The trays are made in advance from a 3D plan, and you progress through them a fortnight at a time. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.
How Aligner Treatment Works in Narachan
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Narachan model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.
Wear time matters above all else: 20–22 hours per day. Attachments — small tooth-coloured bumps bonded to certain teeth — help the trays grip for trickier movements like rotations.
Review appointments in Narachan are typically every 6–12 weeks. At each visit the clinician checks progress and hands over the next trays; some practices add app-based remote monitoring to cut in-person visits.
