The misalignment of teeth has been a subject of interest for many years in the field of dentistry. However, patients were a bit feared and shunned by the process of teeth alignment as it not only seemed temporarily unappealing, somewhat invasive but also required a long-term commitment. Now, it has been replaced by the innovation of the clear aligners which solves all the inconveniences of a conventional orthodontic device.
What is a clear dental aligner ?
A clear aligner or as commonly known “invisible dental brace” is the embodiment of an intelligent work system that combines effectiveness with pleasure. Indeed, this principle is based on a slow but adjustable traction over time; week after week without it being noticed since the greatest advantage lies in its discretion.
“Smilers” company represents the unique certified label of guaranteed French origin; this innovative company ascribed great importance to the continuous monitoring of their partners.
This firm is also committed to providing quality devices as well as complete production tracing. The “Smilers” braces /clear aligners have helped in restoring more than 50 000 smiles; with impeccable and synchronized care following the guidelines of the dental surgeon. The supply is done via the original company following international guidelines and standards of consistency and accuracy of manufacture.
After more than one million “smiler” aligners were designed, an utter and infallible mastery of this field has been required by the company which hence explains its reputation. The Khellil’s Dental Center is therefore one of the brand’s approved partners.

At what age can I start the treatment with clear orthodontic aligners ?
The new generation attributes great importance to appearance; as to them appearance means cleanness but not only that!
Defects in dental layout act as a showcase, just like the nose in the middle of the face, it cannot be unnoticed. Most people prefer to perform these changes as early as possible at a young age so that they can savour the results later on without the hassle of treatment.
Any treatment with clear aligners must have been a subject of prior consultation with the dentist and the agreement will be issued by your treating dentist or orthodontist. It is also based on the age of the teeth as well as its condition. It should be noted that the treatment with dental aligners can only be undertaken if all of the second molars are present, that is to say the dentition must be permanent.
The duration of wearing Invisalign aligners varies based on individual treatment needs. On average, Invisalign treatment typically lasts between 12 to 18 months. However, the timeline can be shorter or longer depending on factors such as the complexity of the orthodontic issues being addressed, the consistency of wearing the aligners, and how well the patient’s teeth respond to the treatment.
Invisalign aligners are usually worn for 20 to 22 hours per day, and they are changed to a new set approximately every one to two weeks, gradually shifting the teeth into the desired position. Regular check-ups with the orthodontist are essential to monitor progress and receive new sets of aligners.
