Clear Aligners

Clear aligners offer an alternative to traditional braces, especially for adult patients who are concerned about the aesthetics of wearing braces.

There are a number of different companies and systems available, which are all offered by the Waikato Orthodontic Centre. All companies offer a series of invisible, comfortable and removable aligners. They are generally either made by a 3D computer, or are made by a lab technician.  The aligners usually have to be changed every two weeks, removing only the eat, floss, brush and drink.

While offering an alternative to traditional braces, they do have their limitations, and generally work best for simple crowding cases limited to the front teeth. If you would like to know if clear aligners are suitable for your case, a simple consult with Dr Ali will answer all your questions
