A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Plenty of patients across Bready choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. You wear the set in order, each one nudging the teeth a fraction closer to the planned result. For straightforward to moderately complex cases, results can match fixed braces. People from Callaghanstown, Magheramason and Cullion regularly visit orthodontists in Bready.

How Clear Aligners Work
Treatment begins with a clinical assessment and usually a digital scan. Planning software maps each stage of tooth movement, and a full series of custom trays is manufactured before treatment starts.
Aligners are worn 20–22 hours a day, out only for eating, drinking anything but water, and brushing. Compliance is everything — falling short slows treatment and can stop the trays fitting.
Review appointments in Bready are typically every 8–11 weeks. Visits are less frequent than with fixed braces — the clinician confirms progress, issues trays, and adjusts the plan if the teeth aren't tracking as designed.
Aligners or Braces in Bready?
Aligners win on aesthetics and convenience; braces win on being hands-off. Fixed appliances work continuously without relying on you remembering to put anything back in.
For complex movements — large rotations, significant overbite correction, extraction cases — fixed braces tend to be more predictable. For mild-to-moderate cases, well-fitted aligners deliver comparable results with more comfort.

Aligner Treatment Timeline in Bready
