Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, transparent trays that gently move your teeth into a healthier, straighter position. Each aligner is worn in sequence and applies controlled pressure according to your digital treatment plan. They are removable for eating, drinking and brushing, making them a discreet alternative to traditional braces.

Many adults and teenagers with crowded teeth, gaps, crooked teeth, overbite, underbite or mild to moderate bite concerns may be suitable for clear aligners. Suitability can only be confirmed after an orthodontic examination and digital scan. At Proalign Smile Shop in Business Bay, an orthodontist evaluates your teeth, gums, bite and smile goals before recommending treatment.

Clear aligner prices in Dubai vary according to case complexity, treatment length and the type of aligner selected. Proalign Smile Shop offers clear aligner treatment from AED 5,999, with the final price confirmed after your consultation and digital scan. Flexible instalment options may also be available through Tabby and Toothpay.

Treatment commonly takes around 6 to 18 months, although simple cases can be shorter and complex cases can take longer. Your orthodontist estimates the timeline after reviewing your scan and treatment goals. Wearing the aligners as instructed and attending progress appointments helps keep treatment on schedule.

Clear aligners and braces can both straighten teeth effectively, but the best option depends on your bite and orthodontic needs. Aligners are transparent, removable and smooth, while braces are fixed and may be preferred for some complex movements. An orthodontist should assess your case rather than choosing treatment based only on appearance.

Most patients should wear their clear aligners for approximately 20 to 22 hours each day, removing them only for meals, hot drinks, brushing and flossing. Consistent daily wear is important because teeth move according to the planned schedule. Your Proalign orthodontic team will give you instructions specific to your treatment.

Remove clear aligners before eating and before drinking anything other than cool or room-temperature water. Food and coloured or hot drinks can stain, damage or warp the trays. Brush your teeth or rinse your mouth before putting the aligners back in to support good oral hygiene.

Clear aligners are generally comfortable, although mild pressure or tenderness is normal when starting a new tray because the teeth are beginning to move. Smooth plastic has no metal brackets or wires to rub against the cheeks. Significant or persistent pain should be discussed with your orthodontist.

Rinse your aligners with cool water and gently clean them with a soft toothbrush and mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid hot water, toothpaste and harsh cleaners because they can scratch or distort the plastic. Store the trays in their case whenever they are not in your mouth, and brush and floss your teeth regularly.

A 3D digital scan creates a detailed model of your teeth and bite without traditional impression material. Orthodontists can use the scan and AI-supported software to map tooth movement, check each stage and show a preview of the expected smile. At Proalign, technology supports clinical expertise; your treatment plan is reviewed by an orthodontic team.
