Do you want straight teeth and a beautiful smile, but braces are not an option for you? Aligners can be the best solution.
Book a consultation with a dentist and receive individual recommendations on bite correction and restoring the harmony of your smile!
Aligners are individual clear trays for teeth straightening, created based on a digital 3D plan, which gradually change the position of the teeth. Treatment is carried out with a set of trays, and each of them corresponds to a specific stage of correction. Thanks to precise planning, aligners make it possible to control the entire process from the initial tooth position to the final result.
Aligners can be an effective treatment option in the following cases:
mild or moderate tooth misalignment that requires gradual correction;
dental crowding, when teeth are too close together or partially overlap each other;
gaps between teeth (diastemas, tremas);
rotation of teeth around their axis, which can be corrected by gradual movement;
tooth shifting after braces removal, when repeat correction is needed;
incorrect position of the front teeth affecting the aesthetics of the smile;
mild or moderate bite disorders that can be corrected without fixed brace systems.
The orthodontist decides whether this method is suitable for your case after an examination and analysis of diagnostic data.
Aligners have a number of advantages that make patients often choose them instead of classic braces:
Teeth aligners allow you to undergo orthodontic treatment in a comfortable rhythm, without stress and without noticeable changes in your daily life.
Preparation begins with a detailed examination, which helps assess the condition of the teeth and bite, determine treatment options, and formulate an accurate plan.
The doctor conducts a clinical examination, analyzes the bite, determines the extent of correction, and answers questions about future treatment.
Modern diagnostic methods are used for accurate planning. Depending on the clinical situation, the following may be prescribed:
These methods help to evaluate the possibility of tooth movement, identify hidden problems and create the most accurate digital treatment plan.
After obtaining diagnostic data, the orthodontist creates an individual 3D plan: step-by-step movement of the teeth is modelled and the predicted result is shown. At this stage, the number of aligner trays and the approximate duration of treatment are determined.
All stages 
After the treatment plan is approved, a stepwise process of dental arch correction begins.
Based on the digital plan, a full set of aligners is produced. Each tray corresponds to a specific stage of tooth movement. In simple cases this may be 10–12 trays, while in more complex situations several dozen may be needed.
Aligners are worn every day. The general recommendation is about 20–22 hours per day. The trays are removed only for eating and brushing the teeth. The daily wearing time directly affects the speed and accuracy of treatment.
The replacement frequency depends on the treatment plan — usually every 7–14 days. Each new tray continues to move the teeth in the planned direction. The orthodontist provides the patient with a precise replacement schedule.
During regular check-ups, the doctor assesses tooth movement and ensures that the treatment is progressing according to the plan. If necessary, the schedule can be adjusted.
The duration depends on the complexity of the clinical case. On average, treatment lasts from several months to 1.5–2 years. Exact terms are determined during the planning phase.
After completing the active treatment phase, retainers are made for the patient. They help maintain the achieved result and stabilise the teeth in their new position.
Also, at this stage, you can take care of the maximum aesthetics of your smile and even have your teeth whitened.
Aligners are an effective orthodontic treatment in most cases, but there are situations when they may be insufficient or require a combined approach. This does not mean that treatment is impossible — it simply means that the orthodontist will choose an option that provides a better and faster result.
If teeth are very crowded, aligners often work well in cases of dental crowding, as they allow gradual alignment of the dental arch without fixed appliances.
However, it is important to understand that aligners may not be the optimal choice in severe bite problems, when changes involve not only tooth position but also jaw structure. In such situations, braces or even orthognathic correction may be required. Aligners are also less effective in cases of very large tooth movements or complex rotations.
If tooth implantation was carried out in the past, the decision to use retainers after completion of orthodontic treatment is made individually. The doctor considers the stability of the implant, its position and the general anatomy of the bite in order to choose the most safe and effective option for fixing the result.
It should also be taken into account that aligners are a removable system. To achieve a good result, it is necessary to wear the trays daily for about 20–22 hours. If a patient cannot or does not want to follow this schedule, treatment efficiency decreases — in this case braces, which work constantly, may be preferable.
There are also general limitations typical for any orthodontic treatment. If there is untreated caries, gum inflammation or other dental problems, they must be managed before starting therapy. Aligners may also be temporarily contraindicated in the presence of active mucosal diseases or significant bone defects.
Compared with braces, aligners have some specific features. They are much more comfortable and discreet, but cannot always replace the full range of capabilities of a fixed system. In complex cases braces provide greater control over tooth movement — that is why the orthodontist individually determines the best treatment option.
Despite these limitations, most patients receive a positive conclusion regarding the possibility of aligner treatment. The main thing is to undergo a consultation so that the doctor can assess tooth anatomy, bite and choose an option that will provide the best result in your particular situation.
By choosing a private clinic in Kyiv for aligner treatment, you receive a high level of service and predictable results.
The cost of aligner treatment is determined individually. It depends on the complexity of the bite and the required number of trays. During the initial consultation, the orthodontist examines the patient and evaluates the diagnostic results, after which the price for aligner treatment is calculated. You can check the prices and list of medical services in our Kyiv clinic in advance here.
It is also worth considering that the price of aligners in Ukraine may vary depending on the brand of the system, the duration of treatment and the need for additional orthodontic procedures. The final cost is formed after drawing up an individual treatment plan.
Braces are a fixed system that is permanently attached to the teeth and suitable even for very complex cases. Aligners are clear removable trays that are almost invisible, do not interfere with hygiene and eating. They are more comfortable and aesthetic, but in severe bite anomalies braces may still be more effective.
Usually a new set of trays is worn every 2–3 weeks, but the exact interval is always determined by the orthodontist based on your clinical situation. It is important not to skip stages and not to change trays earlier or later than recommended so that tooth movement remains controlled and safe.
For treatment to be effective, aligners should be worn most of the day — approximately 20–22 hours. They are removed only for meals and toothbrushing. If you wear them significantly less, treatment will take longer or the result may be incomplete.
The overall duration of treatment depends on the initial condition of the teeth and bite complexity. In simple cases, the first noticeable changes appear after a few months, and full correction may take from one to two years. Approximate time frames are discussed after diagnostics and digital planning, taking into account your individual characteristics.
Yes, in many cases aligners can not only straighten teeth but also improve the bite. They may influence the position of the dental arches relative to each other, but the possibilities of the method depend on the specific situation. In severe bite disorders, a combined approach or braces may be required.
During fitting of the first trays, there is usually no pain. Mild pressure or tension in the first few days is possible — this is a normal reaction to the beginning of tooth movement. Unlike braces, aligners do not have sharp elements that irritate the soft tissues. Most patients report only slight discomfort that quickly subsides.
