Clear Aligners in Cadderlie

For patients who prioritise discretion, clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces. Among Cadderlie patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. 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.

The Clear Aligner Process Explained

It starts with a scan or impressions. The clinician designs every stage of movement in software — you can often preview a simulation of the finished result — then the whole tray series is made at once.

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 Cadderlie 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.
