Qasr Al Reem Dental & Medical Centre · Yas Tower, Suite 106
Clear aligners straighten teeth with a series of nearly invisible, removable trays. Each set moves your teeth a little at a time, following a plan made from a digital scan of your teeth. They can correct crowding, gaps, overbite, underbite and mild to moderate misalignment.
At Qasr Al Reem, aligner treatment is planned by Dr. Keerthan Shashidhar, a Specialist Orthodontist with an MDS in Orthodontics and a PhD, and advanced training in Taiwan and Japan.
Clear Aligners can help with
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbite, underbite or crossbite
- Teeth that have moved after earlier braces
- Teenagers and adults who want a discreet option

Who will treat you
Specialist OrthodontistClear Aligners: common questions
How many hours a day do I wear aligners?
Aligners work best when worn 20 to 22 hours a day. You take them out only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush.
Can I eat normally?
Yes. Because aligners are removable, you take them out to eat, so there are no food restrictions.
Are aligners better than braces?
It depends on your teeth. Your orthodontist will explain whether aligners or braces suit you best.
