Are clear teeth aligners painful?

Clear aligners usually cause only mild pressure or tightness for a day or two after starting a new set. This is normal and indicates that your teeth are moving. Most patients do not experience sharp pain.

How many hours a day should I wear clear aligners?

For best results, clear aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours per day. Removing them too often or for long periods can slow down treatment and affect the final outcome.

Can I eat while wearing clear aligners?

No. Clear aligners should be removed while eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps prevent damage, staining and food getting trapped inside the trays.

Are clear aligners better than traditional braces?

Clear aligners are more discreet and removable, which many adults and teens prefer. However, for very complex tooth or bite problems, traditional braces may still be recommended. Your dentist will suggest the option that suits your case best.

Will clear aligners affect my speech?

You may notice a slight lisp during the first few days of wearing clear aligners, but most people adapt quickly and speak normally once they get used to having the trays on their teeth.

Teeth Aligners in Gwalior – Clear, Comfortable & Nearly Invisible

Clear aligners are a modern way to straighten teeth without metal wires or brackets. At Dental Tonic, Gwalior, we offer customised clear aligners that gently guide your teeth into better alignment while keeping your smile almost invisible.

They are comfortable, removable and ideal for adults and teens who want a discreet orthodontic option.

What Are Teeth Aligners?

Aligners are transparent plastic trays made specifically for your teeth. They fit snugly and apply gentle pressure to move your teeth into improved positions.

You typically wear them for 20–22 hours a day and switch to a new set every 10–14 days, with each set moving your teeth slightly closer to the final result.

How Clear Aligners Straighten Your Teeth

A digital scan of your teeth is used to create your entire treatment plan. You can often preview how your smile will change before treatment begins.

✅ Smooth, irritation-free surfaces

✅ Easy removal for eating and brushing

✅ Clear, aesthetic appearance

✅ Digitally planned tooth movement

Aligners work especially well for mild to moderate crowding, spacing and minor bite issues.
