Removable Clear Aligners in Back of Keppoch

For patients who prioritise discretion, clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces.

How Aligner Treatment Works in Back of Keppoch

Treatment begins with a clinical assessment and usually a digital scan. Planning software maps each stage of tooth movement, and a full series of custom trays is manufactured before treatment starts.
