A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. In Bearnus, they appeal most to professionals and adults who prefer a treatment few people will notice. You wear the set in order, each one nudging the teeth a fraction closer to the planned result. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Bearnus?
Most everyday alignment problems are within scope. The exceptions are severe rotations, big bite corrections and skeletal cases, where braces give more predictable control.
They don't suit mouths with active gum disease or unmanaged missing teeth, and compliance is the deciding factor for many teenage cases.
The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Bearnus. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.

How Aligner Treatment Works in Bearnus
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Bearnus 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 Bearnus are typically every 8–12 weeks. At each visit the clinician checks progress and hands over the next trays; some practices add app-based remote monitoring to cut in-person visits.
