This dental appliance is a more recent development in orthodontics. They are a series of transparent, custom-made, removable braces that fit over your teeth. In comparison to conventional braces, it does not require wires and brackets, which makes it less noticeable. Aligners are suitable for patients who have mild to moderate cases of malocclusion.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8c7dd9e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8c7dd9e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4846efc\" data-id=\"4846efc\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d46ee2c elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"d46ee2c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;masonry&quot;,&quot;columns&quot;:2,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:1,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/www.drclearaligners.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Real-life-Patient-Case-1.png\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"d46ee2c\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Real-life Patient Case 1\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTE2NDMsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93d3cuZHJjbGVhcmFsaWduZXJzLm15XC9ibG9nXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIzXC8wN1wvUmVhbC1saWZlLVBhdGllbnQtQ2FzZS0xLnBuZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6ImQ0NmVlMmMifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/www.drclearaligners.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Real-life-Patient-Case-1.png\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"154\" aria-label=\"\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/www.drclearaligners.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Real-life-Patient-Case-2.png\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"d46ee2c\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Real-life Patient Case 2\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6NTE2NDQsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93d3cuZHJjbGVhcmFsaWduZXJzLm15XC9ibG9nXC93cC1jb250ZW50XC91cGxvYWRzXC8yMDIzXC8wN1wvUmVhbC1saWZlLVBhdGllbnQtQ2FzZS0yLnBuZyIsInNsaWRlc2hvdyI6ImQ0NmVlMmMifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-gallery-image elementor-gallery-item__image\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/www.drclearaligners.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Real-life-Patient-Case-2.png\" data-width=\"300\" data-height=\"151\" aria-label=\"before and after case of crowded teeth\" role=\"img\" ><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery-item__overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1c26f96 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1c26f96\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7133225\" data-id=\"7133225\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-755faf7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"755faf7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The images above depict real-life cases of overbite and crowded teeth patients who wore aligners for nine to eleven months.
