At GBT by Dr.Duro Clinic, our clear aligners are designed for patients who want a more discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. Using a series of custom-made transparent aligners, we gradually guide your teeth into a healthier, more balanced position while helping you maintain the natural look of your smile throughout treatment. Clear aligners are removable and nearly invisible, which is why they are widely chosen by adults and teens looking for a more flexible orthodontic experience.
Clear aligners are transparent, removable trays that fit closely over your teeth and apply gentle, controlled pressure to move them into the desired position over time. Unlike traditional metal braces, they do not use brackets or wires, making them a more discreet option for orthodontic treatment. Invisalign describes aligner therapy as a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten teeth, while NHS guidance also notes that removable aligners are thin, clear plastic appliances usually taken out for meals and cleaning.
At GBT by Dr.Duro Clinic, aligner treatment is ideal for patients who want straighter teeth without the look and feel of conventional braces. It is a modern solution that combines aesthetics, comfort, and convenience in one personalized treatment plan.
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case, your bite, and how consistently the aligners are worn. Some aligner systems say certain cases may see results in as little as 6 months, while broader orthodontic treatment can often take longer depending on complexity.
Clear aligners may help improve:
Crowded teeth
Gaps between teeth
Mild to moderate bite issues
Crooked or uneven teeth
Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment
Orthodontic treatment is commonly used to improve the appearance and alignment of crooked, protruding, or crowded teeth, and to help correct bite problems.
At GBT by Dr.Duro Clinic, your aligner journey begins with a detailed consultation and smile assessment. We evaluate your teeth, bite, and goals to determine whether clear aligners are the right solution for you. From there, a custom treatment plan is created to map the gradual movement of your teeth from their current position to your desired result.
Your treatment may include:
A consultation to assess your smile, bite, and alignment goals
Digital records, scans, or impressions for treatment planning
A personalized series of custom aligners made for your teeth
Regular progress visits to monitor movement and update your plan
Guidance on how long to wear each aligner and how to care for them
Each aligner is customized to fit your mouth and works by applying gentle, consistent pressure over time; Invisalign states most people need to wear aligners about 20–22 hours per day to stay on track
Successful aligner treatment depends heavily on consistency and good oral hygiene. Because aligners are removable, patients can brush and floss more easily than with fixed braces, but they still need to wear them for most of the day to achieve the best results.
Aftercare guidance may include:
Wear your aligners for the recommended number of hours each day
Remove them when eating or drinking anything other than water
Brush your teeth before putting your aligners back in
Clean your aligners regularly to keep them fresh and clear
Attend your scheduled review appointments
Use retainers after treatment if recommended to maintain results
