Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Caerau Park?

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.

Good gum health is a prerequisite, and consistent wear is essential — patients who can't commit to 20–22 hours a day are usually steered towards fixed braces instead.

The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Caerau Park. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.

Lifestyle Differences Between Aligners and Braces

Clear aligners are removed for eating and drinking, so there are no dietary restrictions — a significant advantage over fixed braces, which require avoiding hard, sticky, and chewy foods throughout treatment. Oral hygiene is easier with aligners since teeth can be brushed and flossed normally after removing the tray. With fixed braces, interdental cleaning requires more care around brackets and wires.
