Do you think Teeth Aligners are just for mild cases? It might be for some brands. But aligners from brands like Toothsi are used to treat mild, moderate, and highly complex cases. Be it overbites, crossbites, or highly complex Class II jaw misalignment.
Gone are the days when Teeth Braces used to treat complex cases, and surgeries were needed to treat highly complex orthodontic cases. While some might argue that the Cost Of Clear Aligners is on the higher side compared to teeth braces, it isn’t always true.
Toothsi offers clear aligners at just ₹52,999, with an EMI option at only ₹70 per day. What’s more? Students can avail themselves of special discounts.
Before understanding how Toothsi stands out from other brands, let’s first look at the uses and benefits of teeth aligners.
What Are Teeth Aligners?
Clear Aligners are modern orthodontic appliances that offer an excellent alternative to Dental Braces. They are nearly invisible, removable, and highly comfortable devices that straighten teeth without much hassle.
Toothsi’s dental aligners are manufactured at its own 3D printing facility, which is also India’s largest. Although the invisible aligners are made of plastic, they are free of BPA (bisphenol A), a chemical compound that can mimic or interfere with your hormonal activity.
Unlike other clear aligners in the Indian market, Toothsi’s aligners are not made of PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol). PETG is responsible for posing significant concerns like:
- Microplastic shedding
- Degradation of the aligner’s biocompatibility
- Weakening of mechanical force within a small period (as small as a cycle of 2 weeks)
Also, Toothsi’s clear aligners are Phthalate-free, meaning that they are completely safe. Even during manufacturing, the team doesn’t face skin, inhalation, or respiratory issues. This makes Toothsi highly safe across all age groups.
How Do Teeth Aligners Straighten Teeth?
Aligners are a set of nearly invisible, thin trays that are customized to fit your teeth and apply the consistent, mild pressure required to align them. You have to wear your clear aligners 20-22 hours a day for optimal results.
Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Aligner Usage
You may have the following questions when we talk about how teeth aligners work, which we will try to answer.
1. Can we drink with aligners?
It is not advisable to drink anything else other than water with your aligners on. On one hand, if you drink sugary, cold beverages while you’re wearing aligners, the sugar may get trapped and cause cavities. On the other hand, if you drink hot beverages with your aligners in, it can damage their structural integrity and appearance.
2. Can I eat with aligners?
No, you should not eat with your aligners on. Food particles may become trapped in small pockets, leading to gum irritation and cavities.
3. Can I sleep with aligners?
Yes, you have to sleep with your aligners on. That’s because you have to wear your aligners for 20-22 hours for optimal results. Some people also say that sleeping with the clear aligners can help one adjust to the initial discomfort.
4. What is the 30-minute rule for clear aligners?
The 30-minute rule states that you must wait 30 minutes before putting your aligners back in after eating or drinking.

What Are The Benefits Of Using Teeth Aligners?
In orthodontic treatment, teeth aligners have changed how one can achieve a perfect smile. Let’s look at some of the clear aligner benefits.
Aesthetically Pleasing And Nearly Invisible
One of the major advantages of teeth aligners is that they are nearly invisible. This near-invisible appearance allows patients to undergo treatment without the self-consciousness that comes with teeth braces. Plus, invisible aligners for teeth often blend seamlessly with your lifestyle.
Removable And Ease Of Maintenance
If you can remove the orthodontic device (such as aligners or braces), you can maintain better oral hygiene. This gives you the flexibility to floss, brush, eat, and drink freely, making the process more manageable.
Less Painful And More Comfortable
With teeth braces come the irritation and pain related to their adjustments. Clear aligners are customized to fit your teeth effectively, providing comfort and eliminating pain from adjustments.
Instead of these praiseworthy features, certain cons are associated with teeth aligners, such as:
- Discipline and consistency: Clear aligners for teeth are to be used for 20-22 hours a day. This requires consistency and a disciplined approach to the clear alignment treatment.
- Treatment cost: The clear aligner treatment cost is slightly on the higher side as compared to traditional braces.
- Initial discomfort: Patients might face initial discomfort when going for clear aligners. But it is much less than the irritation associated with teeth braces.
