Clear, removable aligners move your teeth gradually — no metal, no wires, and nothing that stops you from smiling confidently through the whole treatment. At Dr. Gourav Dental Art in Duggal Colony, Karnal, your case is planned by Dr. Mrinal Singh, a consultant orthodontist (MDS — Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics), across clear aligner systems including Invisalign for suitable cases.

Clear aligners are a series of custom-made, transparent plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth. Each tray in the series is designed to shift your teeth a fraction of a millimetre closer to their final position. Every one to two weeks, you switch to the next tray in the sequence, and gradually — over months, not years for most cases — your teeth arrive at the planned, straighter position.
The whole system, including Invisalign and other leading clear aligner brands, is planned digitally before a single tray is made: a scan or impression of your teeth is used to map out every stage of movement, so you can see roughly what your finished smile will look like before you commit.
Invisalign is the best-known clear aligner brand, and for good reason — it has one of the largest bodies of clinical research behind it and handles a wide range of cases, including moderately complex ones. That said, it isn't the only good option, and it isn't always the most cost-effective one for simpler cases.
Invisalign's attachment and movement system can handle more complex bite corrections than some other aligner brands — useful for certain rotations and bite issues.
For mild spacing or minor crowding, a more affordable clear aligner system may achieve the same result at a lower cost — we'll tell you honestly when this applies.
Some systems offer faster tray-change intervals for simpler cases. We match the system to your case rather than defaulting to one brand for everyone.
Dr. Mrinal Singh reviews your scan and bite and recommends the specific aligner system that fits your case and budget — not the one with the biggest marketing budget. This is decided at your consultation, in writing, before you commit to anything.
Clear aligners are an excellent fit for a specific range of cases. At your consultation, we'll confirm exactly where your case falls — honestly, not just to sell the treatment.
For severe crowding, major bite corrections or jaw alignment issues, traditional braces are sometimes the faster and more predictable route — and we'll say so directly rather than pushing aligners regardless.
We examine your teeth and bite and confirm whether aligners suit your case.
A scan or impression maps your teeth and previews your treatment outcome.
A written plan with the aligner system, duration and complete cost.
Change trays every 1–2 weeks as guided, with check-ins every 6–8 weeks.
Custom retainers once treatment ends, so the new position holds.
Cost depends on the aligner brand, how many trays your case needs, and treatment duration. Here are typical starting ranges we quote in Karnal — your exact figure is confirmed in writing after your scan.
| Treatment | Typical duration | Indicative starting cost |
|---|---|---|
| Clear aligners — mild cases | 6–9 months | ₹35,000 – ₹60,000 |
| Clear aligners — moderate cases | 9–14 months | ₹60,000 – ₹90,000 |
| Invisalign — comprehensive cases | 12–18 months | ₹90,000 – ₹1,50,000 |
| Retainers (post-treatment) | Ongoing wear | ₹3,000 – ₹8,000 |
These are indicative starting ranges, not a quotation. Exact cost depends on the aligner brand, number of trays required and case complexity — confirmed after your digital scan and given to you in writing. Monthly EMI and instalment options are available.
Both correct misaligned teeth. The honest comparison, so you choose based on your case and lifestyle, not marketing.

"Wanted straighter teeth without anyone at work noticing. Dr. Mrinal walked me through the scan and the projected result before I committed to anything. Nine months later, gaps are gone."
"Compared Invisalign pricing at two clinics in Karnal. Here, they actually explained why my case didn't need the most expensive tier — appreciated the honesty over the upsell."
"Clean clinic, appointments actually run on time, and nobody pushed unnecessary treatment on me. Rare combination for a dental clinic."
Every stage of your aligner treatment, the duration and the complete cost, set out on paper — with alternatives explained honestly.
Monthly instalment options on aligner treatment. UPI, cards and cash all accepted at the clinic.

We fit custom retainers at the end of treatment and review them at follow-up visits — this step is never skipped.
Mild cases typically start from ₹35,000–₹60,000, moderate cases from ₹60,000–₹90,000, and comprehensive Invisalign cases from ₹90,000–₹1,50,000, depending on the number of trays your case needs. Your exact cost is confirmed after a digital scan and given to you in writing, with EMI options available.
Invisalign has the largest body of clinical research and can handle a wider range of case complexities than some other brands. For mild to moderate cases, other clear aligner systems can achieve the same result at a lower cost — we'll recommend what genuinely fits your case at consultation.
20 to 22 hours a day is the standard guideline. You remove them only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush or floss. Wearing them less than this is the single biggest reason treatment takes longer than planned.
Each new tray causes mild pressure and tenderness for one to three days as it moves your teeth. It's noticeably milder than the soreness some patients report with traditional braces, and normal painkillers handle it if needed.
Mild cases can finish in as little as 6 months. Moderate to comprehensive cases, including many Invisalign treatments, typically run 12 to 18 months. Your written plan will state the specific timeline for your case after the scan.
Clear aligners are especially popular with working adults precisely because they're discreet. There's no upper age limit — the deciding factor is healthy gums and supporting bone, not age.
Yes. Just like with braces, teeth drift back without retention. We fit custom retainers at the end of every aligner treatment and review them at follow-up visits.
Modern clear aligner systems, including Invisalign, can correct many mild to moderate bite issues. Severe bite corrections are sometimes better handled with traditional braces or a combination approach — this is assessed at your consultation.
Your aligner plan is designed and reviewed directly by Dr. Mrinal Singh, MDS Orthodontist, with an honest recommendation on which aligner system fits your case and budget, the full cost given to you in writing, and a clinic conveniently located opposite Archna Hospital, Duggal Colony, Karnal.
