Treatment Overview
Lite Clear Aligners in Korea offer a streamlined, efficient, and aesthetic solution for mild-to-moderate orthodontic corrections.
Built on Korea’s advanced digital orthodontic technology, this system integrates 3D digital scanning, AI tooth-movement simulation, and CAD/CAM fabrication to create precise, lightweight aligners that provide fast, comfortable, and invisible alignment results.
The Lite Aligner System is specially designed for patients who need limited, targeted correction — making it ideal for closing small gaps, correcting mild crowding, or refining previous orthodontic results.
With shorter treatment durations and fewer aligners, it provides a cost-effective, time-efficient alternative to full-arch systems, while maintaining Korea’s hallmark precision and aesthetic excellence.
Purpose & Benefits
Purpose
- Correct mild-to-moderate tooth misalignment quickly and invisibly.
- Provide a digitally guided orthodontic solution for shorter treatment durations.
- Offer an affordable and efficient option for aesthetic smile enhancement.
- Deliver comfortable, biocompatible, and removable aligners for daily use.
- Provide predictable, digitally simulated tooth movement using Korean AI technology.
Benefits
- Shorter Treatment Time: Average completion in 3–8 months.
- AI Precision: Digitally planned for accurate, consistent results.
- Crystal-Clear Transparency: Virtually invisible while worn.
- Comfortable Fit: Smooth-edged, lightweight material minimizes irritation.
- Removable Design: Allows natural eating, brushing, and flossing.
- Budget-Friendly: Lower cost compared to full arch aligners.
- Quick Refinement: Ideal for touch-up corrections or minor relapse cases.
Ideal Candidates
Lite Clear Aligners are tailored for individuals who want simple, fast, and aesthetic orthodontic adjustments without full treatment.
Ideal Candidates Include
- Adults or teens with mild crowding, spacing, or minor bite irregularities.
- Patients who previously had braces and want touch-up correction.
- Individuals seeking discreet, short-term orthodontic treatment.
- Busy professionals needing quick, digitally monitored results.
- International patients looking for affordable, efficient Korean orthodontic care.
Possible Risks & Complications
While Lite Aligners are extremely safe, minor temporary effects may occur:
- Mild tightness or soreness when switching trays.
- Temporary speech adaptation.
- Staining from colored beverages or improper cleaning.
- Slight relapse if retainers are not worn after treatment.
Korean orthodontic clinics minimize these through AI-based monitoring, digital progress evaluations, and personalized retention plans.
Orthodontic Techniques Used
The Lite Clear Aligner System combines digital orthodontics and minimal-force biomechanics for precise, efficient, and comfortable results.
Key Techniques Include
- 3D CBCT & Intraoral Scanning: Detailed digital imaging for accurate mapping.
