For Overseas Patients

Patients seeking orthodontic treatment require activation appointments with orthodontist at regular intervals which can range from 3 – 8 weeks. This seems impractical for overseas patients. For minor malalignments problems we offer Clear Aligners. For major malalignments, which cannot be corrected by clear aligners we advise Self Ligating Braces (frictionless or rapid braces).

Clear Aligners

Clear Aligner system uses 3D graphic imaging and CAD/CAM technology to fabricate the upper and lower invisible plastic removable appliances. Each aligner is worn for 2 weeks period prior to being replaced by next aligner in the series till patient reaches the last pair of aligners. After making impressions of the patients teeth, all aligners are given to the patient . Each new aligner emulate the activation appointment of orthodontist using conventional braces. With clear aligners patient doesn’t have to visit orthodontist repeatedly for regular visits, making it an excellent choice for overseas patients.

Self Ligating Braces

Self Ligating Braces (frictionless or rapid braces) are special kind of braces which have auto lock system to hold the wire in place. Auto lock system imparts less friction between the wire and the braces than conventional braces resulting in rapid tooth movement. As there is less friction involved in self ligating braces, less forces are required for desired tooth movement making it a comfortable alternative to conventional braces. Auto lock system eliminates the need of latex or elastomeric ligatures to hold the wire. These components of conventional appliance act as nidus for plaque accumulation. Thus self ligating braces allow better oral hygiene also.
