The way a person smiles determines the impact they create in a room. Whether a teenager is about to give a presentation or an adult is preparing for a key meeting, a beautiful smile helps in easing the tension and boosts confidence. Due to the advancements in modern orthodontics, you can now get an even smile with clear aligners instead of traditional metal braces.
With the rising popularity of clear aligners, we are seeing more clients, both teens and adults, at DentAesthetica Dental Clinic in Gurgaon. Aligners are the most comfortable option for orthodontic treatment as they are light, removable, and do not attract attention. Both adults and teens can receive the treatment, but the experience differs for each, as do the costs. We will break it down in the simplest and understandable manner possible.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Aligners are customized trays that are made to gradually reposition your teeth. Clear aligners differ from traditional fixed braces because there are no brackets or wires. Aligners are made to fit your teeth so that they can be removed easily when you eat or brush your teeth. Your smile will get straighter over time. You will change to a new aligner every couple of weeks.
More comfortable braces are a blessing for those individuals who dislike wearing traditional braces. Clear braces are a favorite among adults and teens in the workforce because they are subtle and do not draw attention.
Extracurricular activities are the last things a teenager wants during the social and personal changes of discovering fashion, attending social events, and preparing for college. Aligners give a gentle and discreet option during this period of their lives. Aligners are also removed for adults and teens, which means there are no food restrictions. You can have your favorite snacks like popcorn and pizza, and also all the fast food, just remember to remove the aligners first. You don’t have to worry about cleaning your teeth, which is a hassle for braces candidates, since aligners can also be removed while you brush and floss.
At DentAesthetica, our orthodontists report that teenagers also experience an increase in self-esteem because there is no need to worry about wearing traditional braces during social activities like school simulations.
Aligners come with some responsibility, but it’s nothing complicated or crazy. If the best results are desired, it is required to wear the aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours a day. This means putting the aligners back in after meals and keeping track of the aligners so they are not lost. Parents can track this in the beginning, but they will outgrow this necessity.
Adults Prefer Clear Aligners for the Professional Look
As with many things, aligners are most preferred by adults for the subtlety they provide. This is particularly the case with adults in professional settings and in the city of Gurgaon, as they are able to take part in business meetings and social events without feeling the stress of a visible orthodontic practice.
This is also the case with the discipline adults show with their oral practice; for adults with fully developed jaw bones this is a slight disadvantage, as it means the repositioning of the teeth will take place and the adult will not be able to have bone realignment, which means it will take longer in comparison to the teen, but will be the same end results.
Hygiene and aligners are a breath of fresh air for adults, as they have the option to take their aligners out during meals. Unlike with braces, adults do not have to take food trapping. There are also no monthly appointments to tighten the braces. Appointments are also more straightforward and less time-consuming, which means adults have the precious little time they have for their tasks.
Cost of Clear Aligners in Gurgaon
DentAesthetica Dental Clinic offers clear aligners in Gurgaon, considering the complexity of aligners, duration, and the aligner brand. For teens and adults, aligners are approximately Rs. 1,50,000 to Rs. 3,00,000.
Compared to traditional braces, aligners are expensive; however, the comfort and aesthetic of the aligners make the price justifiable. Ease in daily activities provided by clear aligners justifies the cost. Most clients find the price reasonable considering the confidence aligners provide.
We also provide patients with Personalized Treatment Options so that patients can choose aligner systems that suit their budgets and treatment goals.
The Process – Simple & Comfortable
The aligner process is as easy as 1-2-3. First, we conduct an in-depth consultation, and we do a 3D digital scan of your teeth. Your dentist gets to plan your smile by visualizing your teeth and planning a treatment plan, and even shows you a sneak peek of your smile as it will look after treatment and provides you with an estimated treatment length.
When your aligners are ready, you’ll receive the first set of aligners that you’ll wear for 2 weeks, and afterwards, you’ll receive the next set for another 2 weeks. After a few weeks, you’ll visit DentAesthetica for a quick check-up to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Special compliance indicators are used for teens. Adults are generally left in compliance with the aligners and do not require indicators.
Long-Term Results & Benefits
The most rewarding part of the clear aligner treatment is, without a doubt, the smile you achieve.
However, the benefits aren’t limited to just the aesthetics. With clear aligners, the improvement of your oral hygiene is inevitable, as straight teeth are easier to clean. Therefore, this means fewer cavities along with a decreased risk of gum disease.
For teenagers, getting aligners is the first step to great oral health and self-confidence. Adults get to take a long-awaited step in self-care and do something for themselves that is usually a long time coming.
After aligner treatment, the maintenance routine is simple. You just have to wear the retainers at night. This brief nightly routine is a small price to pay to keep that beautiful grin for the years to come.
Clear aligners work wonders for teens who are looking to boost their self-confidence and for adults who want to improve their smile discreetly. Most people are satisfied with the treatment as it meets their goals in terms of how their smile looks, as well as comfort and time efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are clear aligners as effective as braces for teens and adults?

Every situation is unique, and different cases take different lengths of time. However, most patients will have aligner therapy completed in the time frame of 6 to 18 months. This will be the case with scheduled regular check-ups to maintain the expected treatment progress.
3. Do clear aligners hurt?
There will be some slight discomfort and pressure when you switch to a new aligner, but this will pass in a few days. Aligner therapy is much more comfortable than traditional braces and does not come with the same level of irritation.
