Removable Clear Aligners in Bankfoot

A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. In Bankfoot, they appeal most to professionals and adults who prefer a treatment few people will notice. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.

How Aligner Treatment Works in Bankfoot

It starts with a scan or impressions. The clinician designs every stage of movement in software — you can often preview a simulation of the finished result — then the whole tray series is made at once.

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 Bankfoot are typically every 8–11 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.

How Do Aligners Compare to Braces?

Aligners win on aesthetics and convenience; braces win on being hands-off. Fixed appliances work continuously without relying on you remembering to put anything back in.

For complex movements — large rotations, significant overbite correction, extraction cases — fixed braces tend to be more predictable. For mild-to-moderate cases, well-fitted aligners deliver comparable results with more comfort.
