Clear Aligners

Clear Aligners are a series of custom made plastic aligners created based on the digital models made from the impression or a scan from the teeth.
There are a few points each person needs to know about these kind of aligners:

The names of the aligners like Invisialign, Eon aligner, Ecligner etc are just brand names.These aligners are all based on the simulated tooth movements and providing a gradual series of correction in order to achieve the full alignment.

These aligners are removable on the other hand the tooth movement will be achieved by full time use of the aligners.

As per the researches done on these kind of aligners there are circumstances in which 60-70% of the correction shown in the simulation will be achieved so patient needs to go through another series of refinement to get closer to the goal of the treatment.

At the start of the treatment since the models will be sent to USA there is around 4-6 weeks waiting period until you receive your aligners.

There are certain movements that cannot be achieved by the clear aligners however they are the best options for some other circumstances.

ALIGNING YOUR TEETH IN 6 MONTHS’ TIME:

Is having straight teeth in 6 months or in a slightly longer time a dream or reality?
We at American Dental Clinic believe it is doable however you need to be a proper candidate for that.
The good news is some teeth alignments don’t take a long time if it happens in a limited area.
Are you someone who doesn’t like the metallic look of the braces and having a long term braces doesn’t work for you as well?
Here at American Dental Clinic we can accommodate you by having the esthetic brackets in the color of the teeth along with the less visible wires.
In some cases we will add a removable appliance to the whole system to do the limited treatment in a more efficient and quicker way.

Adult Orthodontics

With modern technologies and materials used in Orthodontics today, it is never too late to consider braces as an adult. Braces are not only useful for cosmetic improvement because it can treat your jaw joint dysfunction.
If you are planning to get crowns, veneers or other restorative treatments for either cosmetic or functional reasons, braces may even be recommended to gain the maximum result, because braces places tooth where they should be.
Treatment time is not a big issue anymore as we are able to complete treatment in a minimal amount of time, often one year depending on the case type, using SureSmile procedure (See under technology section). American Dental Clinic is the only one offering the SureSmile technology in Middle East, Africa and Asia.
