Illusion Aligners accepts intraoral scans from almost all scanners.

Illusion Aligners also provides scanning services through their “Scan-as-a-Service” initiative where a scan expert from Illusion Aligners will come to your dentist’s clinic with an i ScanPro intraoral scanner and perform the scan.

Once the scans are done, your dentist shares STL files with the Illusion Aligners team for further processing.

Your dentist first takes a scan of your teeth and sends it to us. The team at Illusion Aligners makes a 3D model and prepares a step-by-step treatment plan for your smile transformation journey. Once the treatment plan is approved, the 3D models are printed, and the aligners are thermoformed using premium-quality aligner material and delivered to your dentist’s clinic in secure packaging.

Illusion Aligners are made from a premium-quality, clear aligner material that is completely safe for the body. Additionally, receiving FDA 510(k) clearance reflects the product’s commitment to quality and safety. The FLX variant is made from iTRACK, the PRO variant is made from iMOVE, and Illusion Aligners Teen is made from iTRACK PLUS material.

Yes, they do! There is plenty of research behind them. In fact, dentists have prescribed over 1 million Illusion Aligners across the globe. How well they work for any individual depends on the complexity of the case, consistency of wear, and how closely the patient follows their dentist's guidance.

Clear aligner treatment is suitable for a wide range of people, from teenagers (generally from around age 11) through to adults of all ages. Illusion Aligners can treat crowding, spacing, deep bite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite. Your dentist will assess your teeth and bone health to confirm whether you are a suitable candidate, as more complex cases may sometimes call for a combination of treatments.

You can get aligner treatment even with crowns, bridges, or implants, but with some extra caution and customisations in the treatment plan. Your dentist will guide you on how the treatment will proceed.

Yes, clear aligners can treat overbites, also known as deep bites, where the upper front teeth overlap the lower front teeth more than they should. Suitability depends on the severity, so your dentist and the Illusion Aligners team will assess your case and advise accordingly.

Yes, Illusion Aligners has a dedicated range called Illusion Aligners Teen, designed for patients aged between 11 and 18. Each treatment plan is custom-designed by expert Orthodontists who understand the smile needs of growing patients.

It depends on what you are looking for. Clear aligners are nearly invisible, removable, more comfortable, require fewer dental visits, and do not restrict your diet or complicate oral hygiene. That said, traditional braces may be more appropriate for certain complex cases. For most mild to moderate alignment issues, aligners are generally the more convenient and aesthetically pleasing choice. Your dentist is the best person to advise on what suits your case.

Clear Aligners offer many benefits over metal braces. They are ultra-thin and almost transparent. They are flexible and also extremely comfortable to wear and maintain. With metal braces, patients face more frequent follow-up appointments, discomfort from brackets and wires, a noticeable metallic appearance, and other inconveniences. So, if you are seeking a comfortable and discreet alternative to metal braces, Illusion Aligners is your pick.

Yes, clear aligners are considered safe. Illusion Aligners carry FDA 510(k) clearance and are made from safe materials. They go through stringent quality checks and are designed by expert orthodontists. As with any dental treatment, following your dentist's guidance throughout is important.

Illusion Aligners treatment costs usually range from ₹50,000 to ₹2,00,000*, depending on your case and clinic.

With our Zero Cost EMI facility, Illusion Aligners is now more accessible than ever, giving you flexibility, less stress, and no compromise on your treatment.

Most insurance companies in India do not cover dental treatment. However, it is always worth checking with your insurer.

Treatment time varies, but most people see results in a few months. Your exact timeline depends on how complex your case is and how well you follow your dentist’s instructions.

You are required to wear the aligners for 20–22 hours per day. Remove them only while eating, drinking anything other than water, and performing oral hygiene procedures such as brushing and flossing.

To put them in, place the aligner over your teeth and use your fingertips to gently press it down, starting from the front and working towards the back. Avoid biting them into place. You can use the provided chewies to help seat the aligner properly by biting down on them gently and working your way across the tray. This helps ensure the aligner fits snugly against your teeth.

To remove them, you can use an aligner removal tool, which hooks onto the edge of the aligner and makes it much easier to lift the aligner off without straining your fingers or nails. If you do not have a removal tool handy, gently unhook the aligner from the back molars on one side, then the other, working forward. It can feel a little tricky at first, but most people get the hang of it fairly quickly. Your dentist can walk you through it at your first fitting.

No, you should always remove your aligners before eating. Food can get trapped underneath, causing hygiene issues, and chewing can damage the trays. Avoid drinking anything other than plain water while wearing them too.

For high-impact or contact sports, aligners are usually removed, and a sports mouthguard is worn instead for better protection. For non-contact sports or low-risk activities where there is no risk of aspiration, aligners can be worn.

When playing musical instruments, aligners can typically remain in place, although this may depend on the type of instrument being played. If the aligners interfere with comfort or the intended sound output, they may be removed during practice or performance.

This is quite common in the first few days. The thin plastic trays slightly alter the position of your tongue, affecting how certain sounds are produced. For most people, this is temporary and improves within a week or two as the tongue adjusts. Speaking as normally as possible while wearing them helps speed things along. At just 0.8 mm thin, Illusion Aligners are designed to minimise this effect.

Clear aligners are generally not painful, though mild pressure or discomfort when switching to a new set is fairly common. This is a sign the aligners are working, and the sensation usually settles within a couple of days. If there is a problem that doesn’t resolve, you must contact your dentist immediately.

Clean your aligners with tap water and a soft-bristled toothbrush every morning and night for optimum maintenance. Also, before wearing your aligners and after removing them, ensure that the aligners and your mouth are clean by rinsing them with water.

Maintaining your clear aligners is an easy task. You just need to remove them while eating, drinking anything except water, or brushing your teeth and performing other oral hygiene procedures. You also need to follow the cleaning instructions and clean your aligners regularly.

Using hot water, which can warp the aligners, and using regular toothpaste, which can scratch and cloud the surface, are among the most common mistakes. Leaving aligners out of their case after cleaning in warm or sunny spots is also something you should avoid.

Yes, heat can cause the aligner material to warp, affecting both fit and effectiveness. Avoid drinking hot beverages while wearing them and store aligners in their case away from direct sunlight or warm environments. If you suspect your aligners have been affected by heat, contact your dentist before continuing to wear them.

Yes, Illusion Aligners come with a storage case, called a retainer box. Patients can safely store their aligners when they are not in use.

Contact your dentist as soon as possible. They may ask you to go back to the previous set temporarily while the issue is resolved. Do not try to force aligners that do not fit, as this can affect your treatment progress or cause discomfort.

You simply need to contact your dentist. Your dentist might ask you to wear the previous aligner to retain the progress until your lost or broken aligner gets replaced.

Yes, you do. Once your treatment is complete, your dentist will give you retainers to keep your teeth in their new position.

Unfortunately, it is not possible. Teeth are anchored in the jawbone, and changing their position requires consistent, controlled pressure applied over time. Clear aligners like Illusion Aligners are one of the more gentle, non-invasive ways to achieve this gradually and discreetly.
