Invisible Aligners Available in Berwick St. Leonard

A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. They are especially popular with adults and older teenagers in Berwick St. Leonard who don't want visible metal. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.

Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Berwick St. Leonard?

Clear aligners handle a broad range of mild to moderate issues — crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite and underbite. Complex skeletal problems or severely rotated teeth may be better suited to fixed braces.

Aligners are also unsuitable with untreated gum disease, significant missing teeth without a plan, or where daily wear is likely to be inconsistent. Teenagers who may struggle with wear hours can do better in braces.

The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Berwick St. Leonard. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
