Orthodontic
Clear aligners
Straighten your teeth with near-invisible removable aligners, planned from a 3D scan so you can see the finished result before you commit.
Who it’s for /
Is it right for you?
Aligners suit most mild to moderate cases. At your consultation Dr. Karthik tells you plainly whether they are the right tool.
Crowding and gaps
Mild to moderate crowding and spacing are the most predictable cases for aligners.
Adults and teens
Aligners suit adults and teenagers whose adult teeth have come through. Younger children are assessed by Dr. Divya.
Relapse after braces
If your teeth have drifted since you had braces, a short aligner course often brings them back.
Not ideal for
Some complex bite problems move more predictably with fixed braces. We will explain the options honestly at your consultation.

What to expect afterwards
Teeth move gradually into the planned position. Many mild cases finish in around six months; more complex cases take up to eighteen. Retainers are what make the result last, so they are part of every plan.
Aftercare
- Wear your aligners 20–22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat and to drink anything other than water.
- Brush before putting the aligners back in, so food is not trapped against your teeth.
- Expect pressure for a day or two with each new set. It means the teeth are moving.
- Once treatment is finished, wear your retainers every night.
