Aligners

A discreet, modern solution for straightening teeth with clear, removable aligners.

At Yes Dental Clinic in Setia Alam, we provide advanced orthodontic care with invisible braces (clear aligners)—a modern alternative to traditional braces. These custom-made, transparent trays gradually shift your teeth into place, making them especially popular among adults and teens who want a discreet way to improve their smiles.


Do You Need Aligners?

Clear aligners may be recommended if you have:

  • Mild to moderate misalignment: Crooked or crowded teeth.
  • Spacing issues: Gaps between teeth.
  • Minor bite problems: Overbite, underbite, or crossbite.

👉 At Yes Dental, our dentists will assess your needs and advise whether aligners are right for you.


How Do Aligners Work?

Clear aligner treatment uses a series of custom trays:

1. Consultation and Planning

  • A dentist at Yes Dental Clinic creates a 3D digital model of your mouth.
  • A personalised plan maps your teeth’s movement.

2. Fabrication of Aligners

  • A series of aligners is designed for your treatment.
  • Each aligner gently shifts your teeth.

3. Wearing the Aligners

  • Wear them 20–22 hours daily, removing only for meals and brushing.
  • Change to a new aligner every 1–2 weeks.

4. Monitoring Progress

  • Regular check-ups at our Setia Alam dental clinic track your progress.

Benefits of Clear Aligners

  • Nearly invisible for a natural look.
  • Comfortable and gentle on gums.
  • Removable for eating and cleaning.
  • No diet restrictions or complex cleaning routines.

Challenges of Aligners

  • Must be worn consistently for best results.
  • Require regular cleaning.
  • May not work for severe orthodontic cases.

How Long Does Treatment Take?

Most aligner treatments at Yes Dental last 6 months to 2 years, depending on your case.


Caring for Your Aligners

  • Rinse and clean with lukewarm water and a soft brush.
  • Store in a protective case when not in use.
  • Avoid hot water to prevent warping.

Frequently Asked Questions About Aligners

“Are aligners effective?”

Yes, aligners are proven to work for mild to moderate orthodontic problems—provided you wear them as instructed.

“Do aligners hurt?”

Research on Clear Aligners

  • Studies in the American Journal of Orthodontics confirm aligners effectively treat spacing and crowding, though severe cases may need braces.
