A routine to follow.
Removable does not mean occasional. Your orthodontist will explain your wearing schedule, cleaning routine and when to move to the next tray.
Progress & retention.
Review visits help your doctor assess progress. Discuss what happens if a tray does not fit, and how retainers will maintain the result after treatment.

Braces or aligners?
Understand the difference.
Start with the practical differences. Your orthodontist can explain which matters for your teeth and bite.
| The detail | Fixed braces | Clear aligners |
|---|---|---|
| The appliance | Brackets connected by an archwire. | A planned series of clear trays. |
| Removal | Stays attached during treatment. | Removable; follow the prescribed wearing routine. |
| Everyday care | Cleaning around brackets and wires. | Care for your teeth and the trays. |
| After treatment | A retainer and follow-up plan are important with either approach. | |

Decide with clarity.
Are clear aligners suitable for everyone?
No single appliance suits every case. Your orthodontist will assess your teeth, bite and oral health, then discuss the options and their limitations.
Will I still need appointments?
Aligner treatment needs professional assessment and review. Ask the clinic how your visits and progress checks would be arranged.
How do I look after the trays?
Follow the cleaning and wearing instructions provided for your particular aligners. Ask the team what to do if a tray is lost, damaged or no longer fits.
Can I compare them with fixed braces?
Yes. Explore the comparison below, then ask Dr. Shardul which differences matter for your own treatment plan.
