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 Bryn Eglwys 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. They suit mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite issues particularly well.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Bryn Eglwys?
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.
They don't suit mouths with active gum disease or unmanaged missing teeth, and compliance is the deciding factor for many teenage cases.
The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Bryn Eglwys. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
How Clear Aligners Work
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Bryn Eglwys model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.
Wear time matters above all else: 20–22 hours per day. Attachments — small tooth-coloured bumps bonded to certain teeth — help the trays grip for trickier movements like rotations.
Review appointments in Bryn Eglwys are typically every 7–11 weeks. At each visit the clinician checks progress and hands over the next trays; some practices add app-based remote monitoring to cut in-person visits.

Stage 1 — Initial Assessment
The journey in Bryn Eglwys usually opens with an assessment — a photo-based remote review or an in-person exam. Remotely, you get an early read on suitability and complexity before paying for anything; in person, the clinician takes X-rays, checks bite, jaw and gums, and scans or photographs your teeth. This stage decides whether aligners are appropriate and how complex the case is.
