For patients who prioritise discretion, clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces. Plenty of patients across Bure Park choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. The trays are made in advance from a 3D plan, and you progress through them a fortnight at a time. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.
Aligners vs Fixed Braces in Bure Park
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.
On cost, aligners in Bure Park are usually similar to or slightly above fixed braces for equivalent complexity. Simple cases may use budget systems; complex full-arch cases cost more. Always confirm retainers and refinements are in the fee.

The Clear Aligner Process Explained
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Bure Park 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 Bure Park are typically every 8–10 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.
