Aligners are transparent orthodontic aligners that gradually straighten teeth without braces. They are individually manufactured using digital 3D scanning and allow you to see the future result before treatment begins. At Sorridi Dental Clinic in Irpin, we offer modern aligner systems for children and adults.
Aligners are suitable for correcting most orthodontic problems: tooth crowding, gaps, minor bite issues. The main advantage is transparency: aligners are practically invisible on teeth, so you can smile confidently throughout the treatment.
At our clinic in Irpin, different types of aligners are available: standard, premium, and special children's systems. Orthodontist Yuliia Kunets will select the optimal option after 3D scanning and create a treatment plan with result prediction.

Advantages of Aligners at Sorridi (Irpin)
Aligners or braces: a comparison
Both methods straighten teeth. The choice depends not on fashion but on the clinical picture: bite complexity, age and patient discipline. The orthodontist suggests an option after diagnostics.
| Parameter | Aligners | Braces |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Clear trays, almost invisible | Metal, ceramic or sapphire systems |
| Removability | Removed for eating and cleaning | Fixed, removed by the doctor |
| Discipline | Wear 20-22 hours a day | Hygiene is harder to maintain |
| Complex cases | Limited: not all rotations and movements | Wider range, including severe cases |
| Price | from 20,000 UAH per course | from 15,000 UAH per jaw |
| Visits | Less often, tray changes | Adjustment every 4-6 weeks |

When aligners are not suitable
Aligners work through a sequence of shape changes. If a tooth must move a long distance or rotate around its axis, aligners do not give the needed control.
- Pronounced skeletal bite problems that need orthognathic surgery.
- Teeth that have not fully erupted or have an abnormal position.
- The patient is not ready to wear aligners 20-22 hours a day.
- Active periodontitis: the gums are treated first, then the teeth are straightened.
In such cases the orthodontist suggests a braces system. It is not a worse option but a different tool for a specific task.
Typical clinical situations
Situation 1
Crowding of front teeth in an adult
The patient does not want braces because of work. The consultation includes a 3D scan and an aligner plan. The term depends on the amount of movement.
Situation 2
A teenager with uneven canines
The parents choose between aligners and braces. The doctor assesses the bite, hygiene and readiness to wear aligners. If discipline is low, braces are suggested.
These are typical situations, not the stories of specific patients. The term and price are confirmed after diagnostics.
Aligner care
An aligner is a medical device, not an accessory. Both oral hygiene and whether the aligner survives the stage depend on care.
- Rinse the aligner with cool water after every removal. Hot water deforms the plastic.
- Clean the aligner with a soft brush without paste: abrasive scratches the surface and holds bacteria.
- Do not eat or drink anything hot while wearing aligners. Coffee and tea only without them.
- Store the aligner in its case. A napkin or a pocket is a typical cause of breakage.
- A skipped aligner is not "just one day off". The tooth starts to move back and the next aligner will not fit.
If the aligner cracks or stops fitting tightly, stop using it and contact the clinic. Continuing in the old aligner shifts the plan.
How long aligner treatment takes
The average term is 6 to 18 months. The exact number of aligners is determined after a 3D scan: the more movement, the more stages. Each aligner is worn for 1-2 weeks, then the next one is used. At the end of treatment retainers are mandatory, otherwise the teeth return to their previous position.
