Invisible Aligners Available in Burlings

Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces. They are especially popular with adults and older teenagers in Burlings who don't want visible metal. The trays are made in advance from a 3D plan, and you progress through them a fortnight at a time. For straightforward to moderately complex cases, results can match fixed braces.

Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Burlings?

Clear aligners handle a broad range of mild to moderate issues — crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite and underbite. Complex skeletal problems or severely rotated teeth may be better suited to fixed braces.

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 Burlings. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.

Aligners or Braces in Burlings?
