Clear Aligners in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai

Most cases run between six and eighteen months, depending on how far the teeth have to move. Mild crowding or a small gap can finish inside six months. Dr. Chadha gives you an estimated range at the consultation, after the 3D scan shows what the movement actually involves.

Aligners usually cost more than fixed metal braces, because every tray is custom made for your teeth. Exact pricing depends on how much movement your case needs, so you get a written estimate at the consultation before anything begins, with EMI options if you would rather spread it.

In normal conversation, almost nobody does. The trays are thin and clear, and they sit flush against the teeth. Most patients tell us colleagues only find out because they take them out to eat.

Around 22 hours a day, which means everything except meals and brushing. This is the one part of aligner treatment that depends entirely on you. Wearing them less simply slows the whole plan down.

No, and it is worth saying plainly. Aligners handle crowding, spacing and mild to moderate bite issues well. Severe bite corrections, badly rotated teeth or cases needing jaw surgery are better served by fixed braces or a referral. If aligners are the wrong tool for your case, we will tell you at the consultation rather than start you on them.

You move on to a retainer. Teeth drift back towards where they started if nothing holds them, so retainers are not optional if you want to keep the result. We fit yours at the final visit and explain how often to wear it.
