Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces. They are especially popular with adults and older teenagers in Annaloist who don't want visible metal. A digital treatment plan maps every stage, and you step through the trays in sequence over the course. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.
Aligners or Braces in Annaloist?
Both can produce excellent results when matched to the case. Aligners suit disciplined patients who value discretion; braces suit those who'd rather the appliance do the work automatically.
On cost, aligners in Annaloist are usually similar to or slightly above fixed braces for equivalent complexity. Simple cases may use budget systems; complex full-arch cases cost more. Always confirm retainers and refinements are in the fee.
How Aligner Treatment Works in Annaloist
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Annaloist model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.
Wear time matters above all else: 20–22 hours per day. Attachments — small tooth-coloured bumps bonded to certain teeth — help the trays grip for trickier movements like rotations.
Review appointments in Annaloist are typically every 8–12 weeks. Visits are less frequent than with fixed braces — the clinician confirms progress, issues trays, and adjusts the plan if the teeth aren't tracking as designed.
