How It Works

A clearer way to straighten your teeth

Discreet, removable, and designed around your life

The basics

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are removable orthodontic appliances made from smooth, virtually invisible plastic that gently and gradually move your teeth into the proper position. Each custom-made set applies gentle, controlled pressure — a subtle, comfortable alternative popular with teens and adults. Systems such as Invisalign treat crowding, spacing, and bite problems on both upper and lower teeth while supporting better oral hygiene.

The benefits

Benefits of Clear Aligner Treatment

Clear aligners improve your smile and your overall oral health. Because they are removable, you can brush and floss normally and eat without food restrictions — helping prevent plaque buildup and gum inflammation. Treatment is digitally planned for predictable results, with less irritation than metal brackets and fewer routine checkups.

FAQs

What are clear aligners?

Clear aligners are removable, transparent trays that gradually straighten teeth without the brackets and wires used in traditional braces. You wear a series of custom made aligners, each one moving your teeth a little closer to their final position. At Lilac Medical Centre in Abu Dhabi, clear aligner treatment is planned by a specialist orthodontist.

How do clear aligners work?

Clear aligners work by applying gentle, controlled pressure to move teeth into position over time. You wear each set of aligners for around two weeks before switching to the next, following a plan designed by your orthodontist. The trays are removable, so you can take them out to eat, brush, and floss.

Who is a good candidate for clear aligners?

Good candidates for clear aligners are typically those with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite issues who are committed to wearing the trays as directed. More complex cases may need alternative treatment. A specialist orthodontist at Lilac Medical Centre can assess your teeth and advise whether clear aligners are suitable for you.

Do clear aligners hurt?

Clear aligners do not usually hurt, though you may feel mild pressure or tenderness for a day or two after starting a new set of trays. This is a normal sign the aligners are working to move your teeth. Any discomfort is typically temporary and tends to ease as you adjust.

How long does clear aligner treatment take?

Clear aligner treatment typically takes between 6 and 18 months, depending on the complexity of your case and how consistently you wear the trays. Simple corrections may take less time, while more involved cases can take longer. Your specialist orthodontist will provide an estimated timeline after assessing your teeth during a consultation.

How much do clear aligners cost?

The cost of clear aligners depends on factors such as the complexity of your case, the number of aligners needed, and the length of treatment. Because every case is different, a personalised quote is provided after a consultation. Some insurance plans may contribute towards orthodontic treatment, so it is worth confirming your coverage.

Does insurance cover clear aligners?

Some insurance plans may cover part of the cost of clear aligners, though this varies by provider and policy. Lilac Medical Centre works with several insurers, including Daman, Thiqa, AXA, and Cigna. We recommend confirming your orthodontic coverage directly with your insurer before beginning treatment.

How do I clean my clear aligners?

To clean clear aligners, rinse them each time you remove them and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or a cleaning solution recommended by your orthodontist. Avoid hot water, which can warp the trays. Brushing and flossing your teeth before reinserting the aligners also helps keep them clear.

How many hours a day should I wear clear aligners?

Clear aligners should typically be worn for around 20 to 22 hours a day for the best chance of effective results. They are removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and cleaning. Wearing them consistently is important, as inconsistent wear can slow your progress and extend treatment time.

Can I eat with clear aligners in?

No, you should remove clear aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. Eating with them in can damage the trays and trap food, which may lead to staining or decay. After eating, brush your teeth or rinse your mouth before putting the aligners back in to keep them clean.

What are the risks or side effects of clear aligners?

Clear aligners are generally safe, though possible side effects can include mild discomfort, temporary changes to speech, and minor irritation of the tongue or gums. Removing the aligners too often can also slow progress. Your specialist orthodontist will discuss any risks relevant to your case and how to manage them.

How long do clear aligner results last?

Results from clear aligners can last many years when you follow your orthodontist’s aftercare advice, which usually includes wearing a retainer. Teeth can gradually shift over time without retention. Your specialist orthodontist will explain how to help maintain your results and how often to wear your retainer after treatment.

Are clear aligners better than braces?

Clear aligners and braces both aim to straighten teeth, but each suits different needs. Aligners are removable and less visible, while fixed braces may be more suitable for complex cases. Neither option is right for everyone. A specialist orthodontist at Lilac Medical Centre can assess your teeth and recommend the most appropriate treatment.

Can teenagers use clear aligners?

Yes, many teenagers can use clear aligners, provided their adult teeth have come through and they are able to wear the trays consistently as directed. Suitability depends on the individual case and the level of commitment required. A specialist orthodontist can assess whether clear aligners are appropriate for a teenager during a consultation.
