Discreet Teeth Straightening in Bobby Hill

Removable clear aligners are now a mainstream choice for discreet teeth straightening. Among Bobby Hill patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces.

Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Bobby Hill?

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.

Adult Braces & Aligners in Bobby Hill

It is never too late to straighten your teeth. Clear aligners, ceramic and lingual systems let most adults treat their teeth without anyone noticing. A gum-health check, realistic expectations and the right treatment choice are what determine success.

Why Adults Need a Gum Check First

Adults are more likely than teenagers to carry some history of gum disease or recession, so a gum-health assessment — and treatment of any active disease — comes before orthodontics. Moving teeth through unhealthy bone can worsen problems and cause bone loss, which is why most Bobby Hill orthodontists require a recent check confirming gum health first.
