CLEAR ALIGNERS (INVISALIGN) FOR ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT AT VILVA COSMETICS
Clear Aligners, like Invisalign, offer a modern and discreet alternative to traditional braces for straightening teeth. These transparent, custom-made aligners are a comfortable and convenient solution for correcting a variety of orthodontic issues, from minor spacing problems to more complex bite corrections. At Vilva Cosmetics, we provide state-of-the-art clear aligner therapy to help you achieve a beautifully straight smile without the hassle of metal wires and brackets.
The treatment process begins with a detailed digital scan of your mouth, which is used to create a series of custom-fit aligners. You will wear each set of aligners for 1-2 weeks before moving on to the next set. Each new set of aligners applies a precise amount of force to gradually shift your teeth into their correct positions. The aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss with ease.
Our expert orthodontists at Vilva Cosmetics in Erode will guide you through every step of your clear aligner journey. We will create a personalized treatment plan and use advanced technology to show you a virtual preview of your future smile, so you can see the expected results before you even begin.

- Comfortable: Made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, they are gentle on your gums and cheeks.
- Removable: You can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss, allowing for easier oral hygiene.
- Effective: They can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, from simple to complex cases.
- Predictable Results: The treatment plan is digitally mapped out, so you can see your expected results from the start.
- Fewer Clinic Visits: You will receive multiple sets of aligners at once, reducing the number of appointments needed.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – CLEAR ALIGNERS (INVISALIGN)
How often do I need to wear the aligners?
For the best results, you must wear your aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink anything other than water, brush, and floss.
How long does the treatment take?
The duration of treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. On average, most treatments take between 6 to 18 months, but this can be shorter for minor corrections or longer for more severe cases.
Is clear aligner treatment painful?
You may feel some minor discomfort or a feeling of pressure for a day or two when you first put in a new set of aligners. This is a sign that your aligners are working to shift your teeth and is a normal part of the process. The sensation is typically much less severe than with traditional braces.
How do I care for my aligners?
You should clean your aligners regularly with a toothbrush and warm water. Avoid using hot water, which can warp the plastic. A special cleaning solution can also be used. Always brush your teeth before putting your aligners back in to prevent staining and decay.
Will clear aligners affect my speech?
When you first start wearing your aligners, you may have a slight lisp for a day or two. This is very common and will quickly disappear as your tongue and mouth get used to having the aligners in place.
