Aligners or Braces in Barroway Drove?

How Aligner Treatment Works in Barroway Drove

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.

Aligners are worn 20–22 hours a day, out only for eating, drinking anything but water, and brushing. Compliance is everything — falling short slows treatment and can stop the trays fitting.

Review appointments in Barroway Drove are typically every 7–11 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.
