Clear Aligners for Teeth in Chișinău: Light and Comfort

Aligners for teeth are transparent removable trays that gradually straighten the dental arch and correct the bite. Clear aligners let us move your teeth without classic braces: you take them out to eat, and they are almost unnoticeable when worn.

We plan treatment in advance and control every stage, so the teeth move predictably and without overload. Whether aligners suit your case is decided after diagnostics of your bite and tooth position.

Clear aligners are a removable system suited to mild and moderate bite problems. They are almost invisible and very comfortable, but their effectiveness depends directly on how consistently you wear them.

How Light and Comfort Aligners Differ

Light is the option for simple corrections.
It suits cases where slight crowding needs to be removed or small gaps closed. Treatment is usually shorter and needs fewer trays.

Comfort is full orthodontic treatment.
It suits more complex cases: when teeth have to be moved a greater distance, the bite has to be worked on and the result must stay stable afterwards.

Our doctor decides whether Light or Comfort is right for you after diagnostics and explains the choice before treatment begins.

Stages of Treatment with Light and Comfort Aligners

1
Diagnostics and treatment plan

We assess your bite and tooth position and take X-rays or a scan. Our doctor explains the goals, the timing and the format of the aligners.

2
Planning the result

A step-by-step plan for moving the teeth is drawn up. You are shown how your smile will change.

3
Start of treatment

You receive your first aligners and instructions on wearing them. Most people get used to them quickly.

4
Monitoring and changing aligners

The trays are changed on schedule, and the doctor follows tooth movement and corrects the plan if necessary.

5
Completing treatment

Once the result is reached, the new bite is secured and you receive recommendations on keeping the effect.

How Long Treatment Takes

On average, treatment with aligners lasts 6 to 18 months.
The time depends on the complexity of the bite and the amount of tooth movement.
With small displacements the result is reached faster, with complex ones treatment takes longer.
We give approximate timing at the diagnostics stage.

When Aligners for Teeth Are Not the Best Option

1
Complex bite problems or significantly rotated teeth. Aligners cope with these poorly.
2
If the patient cannot wear the trays 20 to 22 hours a day. Without steady wear the teeth do not move as planned.
3
When the fastest mechanical control is needed.

In such cases we more often recommend braces.
