Dubai, UAE- Over these past few years, invisible aligners have more or less replaced traditional braces in correcting mild to moderate dental malocclusions. With more and more patients choosing it over metallic braces, dental clinics across the country are offering clear aligners to patients of all ages.

“The most exciting thing about clear aligners is their invisibility,” says the expert spokesperson for Emirates Dental Clinic, one of Dubai’s leading centers for clear aligners. “Patients, especially adults and teenagers who are particularly concerned about how they look find it easier to sign up for orthodontic treatment using invisible aligners.”

Although most people think of misalignment correction as a cosmetic procedure, straighter, well-aligned teeth improve one’s general health. Straight and aligned teeth are easier to clean, thereby keeping oral infections and diseases away. As the alignment of your teeth affects your bite and chewing mechanism, straighter teeth will impact your digestion and nutrient assimilation. Additionally, correcting your dental malocclusion will reduce the strain on your jaw bones and reduce instances of jaw, head, and neck pain.

“Thanks to the numerous sources of medical information out there, most of our patients are well informed about the need for correcting dental misalignments,” continues the spokesperson. “Patients in their 40s and up, who were previously unaware or uninterested in correcting their malocclusions are now ready to sign up for teeth straightening, all thanks to invisible aligners.”

Generally invisible aligners are a little bit more expensive than traditional orthodontic methods. This is because each set of clear aligner sets is custom-made for your teeth, according to the treatment plan drawn up for you. Throughout the treatment, you will go through several aligner tray sets, which will apply gentle pressure on your teeth and gum, slowly pushing them into the desired position. By wearing the aligners for over 20 hours a day and following all of the recommendations from your dentist about the maintenance of clear aligners, you will stay on track with your treatment and will get to enjoy great results in a matter of 6 to 18 months.
