Removable Clear Aligners in Arras

A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Plenty of patients across Arras choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. The trays are made in advance from a 3D plan, and you progress through them a fortnight at a time. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.

The Clear Aligner Process Explained

A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Arras model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.

The trays must be in for 20–22 hours daily. Patients who hit that target finish on schedule; those who don't often need refinements to complete movements the main course missed.

Review appointments in Arras are typically every 7–12 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.
