A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Among Borras patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. 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.
How Do Aligners Compare to Braces?
The headline advantage over fixed braces is discretion — trays are nearly invisible. Being removable means no dietary restrictions and easier cleaning, but that same removability is the risk: it only works if you wear them.
Pricing tracks case complexity more than brand. In Borras, expect aligners to sit close to brace pricing; the important comparison is what each quote includes, not the headline figure.

Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Borras?
They work well for mild-to-moderate crowding, spacing and bite correction. Cases needing large vertical movements or with significant skeletal discrepancy usually do better with fixed appliances.
Good gum health is a prerequisite, and consistent wear is essential — patients who can't commit to 20–22 hours a day are usually steered towards fixed braces instead.
The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Borras. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
