Looking for a modern, comfortable, and discreet way to straighten your teeth? Clear aligners, also known as invisible braces, offer a highly effective alternative to traditional metal braces. Using transparent, removable trays, clear aligners gently shift your teeth into alignment—without wires, brackets, or the discomfort of metal hardware.
Whether you’re an adult seeking subtle treatment or a teen interested in aesthetics, this comprehensive guide explains how clear aligners work, their benefits, and what they cost in Malaysia.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth. They apply gentle, controlled pressure to move your teeth gradually into their ideal positions. The trays are removable, making it easier to eat, brush, and maintain oral hygiene compared to fixed braces.
Key Features:
Virtually invisible when worn
Removable during meals and brushing
No metal wires or brackets
Designed using 3D digital scanning and AI-based treatment planning
How Do Clear Aligners Work?
The treatment involves wearing a series of aligner trays, each slightly adjusted to guide your teeth step-by-step. You’ll typically switch to a new set every 1–2 weeks, with progress monitored through periodic checkups with your orthodontist.
The Process:
Digital scan or 3D impression of your teeth
Customized treatment plan with smile simulation
Receive a full set of clear aligners
Wear 20–22 hours per day
Complete treatment in 6 to 18 months, depending on case severity
