Invisible Aligners Available in Capel Seion

Removable clear aligners are now a mainstream choice for discreet teeth straightening. Plenty of patients across Capel Seion 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. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.

How Clear Aligners Work

Treatment begins with a clinical assessment and usually a digital scan. Planning software maps each stage of tooth movement, and a full series of custom trays is manufactured before treatment starts.

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 Capel Seion are typically every 7–10 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.
