Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Busbridge?
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 Busbridge. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
How Do Aligners Compare to Braces?
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.
On cost, aligners in Busbridge 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.
