TrioClear (clear aligners)
Quick answer
What is this treatment?
TrioClear is a transparent aligner system that gradually moves teeth. It works only when the aligners are worn according to the treatment plan and your teeth are suitable. A straightforward aligner treatment may be possible; more complex cases may need specialist orthodontic advice or referral.
When it may be needed
- You are bothered by mild to moderate crowding or spacing.
- Teeth have moved after previous orthodontic treatment.
- You want to know whether a subtle brace option fits daily life.
- You want your bite, wear or cleanability assessed before starting.
What to expect
- We check teeth, gums, bite and existing restorations.
- Scans or photos may help discuss the possibilities.
- We explain how wear time, check-ups and discipline influence the result.
- For complex bite problems, referral to an orthodontist may be discussed.
Preparation and aftercare
- Start with healthy teeth and healthy gums.
- Wear aligners according to the agreed schedule if treatment starts.
- Brush and clean between teeth carefully around meals.
- Use retention afterwards as advised to reduce relapse.

Frequently asked questions
Is TrioClear suitable for everyone?
No. Suitability depends on tooth position, bite, gum health and goals. Sometimes an orthodontist is the better route.
How long do I need to wear aligners?
Aligners usually need to be worn most of the day. The exact schedule belongs to your treatment plan.
Do clear aligners hurt?
New aligners can create pressure or sensitivity. This is often temporary and part of tooth movement.
Do I need a retainer afterwards?
Usually yes. Retention helps keep the result stable. Without it, teeth may move again.
