Clear Aligners in Sungai Buloh
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners straightens teeth using a series of custom-made, removable transparent trays. Each set of trays is worn for a prescribed period before being swapped for the next in the series, gradually guiding the teeth toward their planned positions without brackets, wires, or the visibility of traditional braces.
At Klinik Pergigian Polidental, we offer clear aligner treatment tailored to your teeth, your lifestyle, and your goals. From the initial assessment through to your final result and retention, we guide you through every stage of the process with clarity and care.

Price varies depending on the complexity of the case, the number of aligners required, and the duration of treatment
Benefits of Clear Aligners
Appearance
Clear aligners are nearly invisible when worn, making them the preferred choice for patients who are self-conscious about the appearance of orthodontic treatment.
Removability
Aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, which makes maintaining oral hygiene considerably easier during treatment.
Comfort
Aligners are generally considered more comfortable than fixed braces, as there are no brackets or wires to cause irritation to the soft tissues of the mouth.
Suitability
Clear aligners are most effective for mild to moderate alignment concerns and selected moderate bite issues.
What Can Clear Aligners Correct?
Clear aligners are effective for a wide range of orthodontic concerns, including:
- Crowded teeth
- An overbite
- An underbite
- A cross bite
- An open bite
- Rotated teeth
Clear aligners have become increasingly capable as the technology has advanced, and can address a wider range of concerns than earlier versions of the treatment. However, they are not suitable for all cases — particularly those involving significant skeletal discrepancies, complex bite corrections, or teeth that require substantial vertical movement.
We will assess your situation honestly and let you know whether aligners are appropriate for your case, or whether fixed braces would produce a more reliable result.

Am I a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners?
Most adults and older teenagers with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns are potential candidates for clear aligner treatment. You are likely to be a suitable candidate if:
- Your teeth and gums are healthy and free from active decay or gum disease
- The alignment concern you want to correct falls within the mild to moderate range
- You are committed to wearing the aligners for the recommended 20 to 22 hours per day
- You are able to attend regular review appointments throughout treatment
- You understand that the outcome depends significantly on your own compliance with the treatment protocol
Clear aligners are generally not recommended for younger children whose teeth and jaws are still developing, or for patients whose cases require a level of precision and control that fixed appliances are better suited to deliver. If aligners are not the right fit for your situation, we will discuss the alternatives openly and help you find the most appropriate path forward.
What to Expect During Your Clear Aligners Appointment
The Clear Aligners Process
Once treatment is complete and the aligners are finished, retainers are essential to maintain the result. We will discuss the most appropriate retainer option for your situation.
Consultation
We begin with a thorough examination of your teeth, bite, and jaw, along with X-rays to help our dentists plan a treatment plan for your orthodontic situation.
Your aligners are custom-manufactured based on the treatment plan. Your full set of aligners, or an initial batch, will be ready within a few weeks.
At your fitting appointment, any necessary tooth-coloured attachments are bonded to the relevant teeth. Your first set of aligners is then fitted and checked for comfort and fit.
Review visits are typically scheduled every six to ten weeks to assess progress, provide the next batch of aligners, and ensure the teeth are tracking as planned

FAQ on Clear Aligners
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does clear aligner treatment take?
Treatment duration depends on the complexity of the case. Minor tooth movement cases can be completed in as little as three to six months. Comprehensive cases typically take between 12 and 24 months. A more precise timeline will be provided during your consultation once your teeth and bite have been assessed and a treatment plan prepared.
Do clear aligners hurt?
Clear aligners do not cause the same kind of irritation as brackets and wires, but it is normal to feel mild pressure when switching to a new set of trays. This typically settles within one to two days and is a sign that the aligners are working as intended. Over-the-counter pain relief is usually sufficient if needed.
Can I drink coffee or tea with aligners in?
No. Any drink other than plain water should be consumed with the aligners removed. Hot drinks can warp the tray material, and coloured drinks such as coffee, tea, and juice can stain both the aligners and the teeth beneath them. Removing aligners for drinks also allows you to rinse your mouth and clean your teeth before reinserting them.
What happens if I lose an aligner?
Contact us as soon as possible. Depending on where you are in the treatment sequence, we may advise you to move on to the next set of trays, revert to the previous set, or arrange a replacement. Do not go without an aligner for an extended period since the teeth can shift relatively quickly without the tray in place, which may affect how subsequent trays fit.
Will aligners affect my speech?
Some patients notice a slight lisp when aligners are first worn, particularly with certain sounds. This is temporary and most patients adapt within a few days to a week as the tongue adjusts to the presence of the trays.
Can I whiten my teeth during aligner treatment?
Whitening during aligner treatment is possible and some patients choose to do so, as the aligner trays can be used to hold whitening gel against the teeth. However, this should only be done with professional guidance to avoid uneven results or sensitivity. Discuss this with us before attempting any whitening during treatment.
Are clear aligners suitable for teenagers?
Clear aligners can be suitable for older teenagers whose permanent teeth have fully erupted and who are mature enough to commit to the required wear time. The treatment will not progress as planned if the aligners are not worn consistently. For younger teenagers or patients where compliance may be a concern, fixed braces may be a more reliable option. We will assess suitability honestly during your consultation.
