What is Aligner?
Aligner is a type of orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth using a series of clear, removable plastic aligners instead of traditional metal braces. Aligner uses a series of custom-made, virtually clear aligners to gradually move your teeth — no metal, no wires, no compromises on your lifestyle.
- Removable aligners
- Virtually invisible
- No dietary restrictions
- 3D treatment preview
- Comfortable fit
Aligner has transformed how we approach orthodontic care. Patients who would never consider traditional braces now achieve beautiful, lasting results — often in less time than they expect.

Frequently asked questions
We understand that you may have questions about invisalign treatment at Novocare. Below, we’ve answered some of the most common questions our patients ask to help you prepare for your visit.
The right Invisalign dentist depends on your individual orthodontic needs, the provider’s qualifications and experience, treatment planning approach and follow-up care. At Novocare, Invisalign treatment is provided under the care of an orthodontic team including Dr. Amla Madhusudanan, a Gold II Invisalign Provider.
Novocare’s website identifies Dr. Amla Madhusudanan as a Gold II Invisalign Provider. Patients should have their individual treatment suitability assessed during a consultation.
Aligner is suitable for pre-teens, teens, and adults with simple to complex teeth alignment needs, including bite correction.
The cost varies depending on treatment complexity, duration, number of aligners and other individual requirements. A consultation is required to determine the appropriate treatment plan and cost.
No. Clear aligners can treat many orthodontic problems, but suitability depends on the patient’s teeth, bite and overall oral condition. An orthodontic examination is necessary before treatment.
Neither option is automatically better for every patient. Invisalign can offer a discreet and removable treatment option, while traditional braces may be recommended for certain cases. Your orthodontist can help determine which treatment is appropriate for you.
Follow-up schedules vary depending on the treatment plan. Novocare currently states that progress appointments may be scheduled approximately every 6–8 weeks.
The aligners are removable, allowing you to remove them while eating. You should follow your orthodontist’s instructions regarding wearing and caring for your aligners.
After active treatment, retainers are generally used to help maintain the new position of your teeth. Your orthodontist will recommend an appropriate retention plan based on your case.
