How Clear Aligners Work

A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Boxgrove Park 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.

Teeth Straightening for Adults in Boxgrove Park

A significant proportion of orthodontic patients in Boxgrove Park are adults. Adults have the same clinical options as teenagers, with the advantage of being motivated, compliant patients. The main difference for adults is a pre-treatment gum assessment and, sometimes, a slightly longer timeline.

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 Boxgrove Park orthodontists require a recent check confirming gum health first.
