Clear Aligners in India is a clear aligner alternative to Braces trays and introduces the concept of ‘remote’ aligning of teeth. In this case, the patient can take a 3D scan of their teeth and other structures in the mouth. These scans need to be sent to an orthodontist who is remotely present to create a treatment plan. Based on the scan, the orthodontist designs the trays customized for the patients, like in most aligner cases. These set of aligner trays are sent to the patient and also contain the retainers to be worn after treatment completion. This Invisible Braces alternative begins at about half the cost as that of Invisible Braces. But, there are some disadvantages to this system of aligners:
