What are Clear Aligners or Invisible Braces?
Clear aligners are transparent trays made from medical-grade plastic. They apply gentle, steady pressure to move teeth into position, with no metal wires or brackets. You may know them as invisible braces or by brand names such as Invisalign — all describe the same type of removable aligner treatment. Each set is custom-made from a precise 3D digital scan of your teeth.
They treat mild to moderate issues such as overbites, crowding, gaps and crooked teeth. Adults and older teens benefit most, while children who still have baby teeth are usually better suited to traditional braces. At FDOC, our specialists tell you which option fits your case.

Invisible Braces Treatment in Pune at FDOC
If you are looking for clear aligners in Pune, the most important choice is who plans your treatment. Aligners are only as good as the tooth movements mapped for them, which is why every case at FDOC is planned and supervised by Dr. Shibli Syed, an MDS Orthodontist practising in Pune since 2010.
Why Pune Patients Choose Clear Aligners
Most of our aligner patients are working professionals, college students and adults who want straighter teeth without metal brackets showing in meetings, presentations or photos. Because aligners are removable, you can eat normally, brush and floss as usual, and keep your routine while your teeth move gradually into place.
Specialist Planning, Not Just Trays
Your treatment starts with an orthodontic examination and a 3D digital scan. Dr. Syed uses this to plan each stage of movement and decide how many aligner sets you need, usually between 14 and 26. You see a digital preview of the planned result before treatment begins, and regular reviews at the clinic keep progress on track.
Clear Aligner Cost in Pune
At FDOC, clear aligner treatment in Pune starts from ₹69,999. The final cost depends on how complex your case is and how many aligner sets are needed. You get a clear, itemised quote after your consultation and scan, so you know the full cost before you start.
How Long Does It Take?
Mild cases often finish in 6 months to 1 year, and moderate cases in 1 to 1.5 years. Results depend on wearing your aligners for 20–22 hours a day and using retainers afterwards to hold your new smile in place.
Three Clinics Across Pune

Clear Aligner FAQs
Quick answers to what patients ask most about invisible braces.
What are invisible braces?
Custom-made, removable clear aligners that gradually straighten teeth without wires or brackets.
What is the cost of clear aligners in Pune?
Aligners cost more than traditional braces, starting at ₹69,999 at FDOC. Your exact quote depends on your case.
How long does aligner treatment take?
Usually 6 months to 1 year for mild cases and 1 to 1.5 years for moderate cases.
Are aligners as effective as braces?
For suitable cases, yes. Aligners are discreet, comfortable and can be faster, provided you wear them as prescribed.
Who can use teeth aligners?
Most adults and older teens with mild to moderate issues. Younger patients need extra discipline with wear time.
How many hours a day should I wear aligners?
20–22 hours a day, taking them out for only 2–3 hours in total for meals and cleaning.
Do aligners affect my diet?
No. You remove them before eating, so there are no food restrictions.
What could disqualify me from using aligners?
Smoking, poor oral hygiene, complex orthodontic needs, or being unable to wear aligners consistently.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, with proper aftercare, including regular use of retainers.
Are there any side effects?
Risks are minimal. Most people get used to the feel of aligners within 2–3 weeks.
Can I switch to braces if aligners do not work for me?
Yes. Your orthodontist will review progress and suggest an alternative if needed.
Do I still need in-person dental visits?
Yes. Regular check-ups track progress and keep treatment on plan.
Is Invisalign the same as clear aligners?
Invisalign is one brand of clear aligner. Clear aligners and invisible braces are general terms for custom-made, removable plastic trays that straighten teeth. At FDOC, Dr. Shibli Syed recommends the aligner system that best suits your case and budget.
Are clear aligners painful?
No. You may feel mild pressure for a day or two each time you switch to a new set of aligners, which shows they are working. Most patients find aligners far more comfortable than metal braces because there are no wires or brackets.
How do I choose the best clear aligner clinic in Pune?
Choose a clinic where an MDS orthodontist plans and supervises your treatment, offers a 3D scan with a digital preview, and schedules regular in-person reviews. All FDOC aligner cases are planned by Dr. Shibli Syed at our Kasba Peth, Camp and Salisbury Park clinics.
