A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. In Carswell Marsh, they appeal most to professionals and adults who prefer a treatment few people will notice. You wear the set in order, each one nudging the teeth a fraction closer to the planned result. They suit mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite issues particularly well.
How Aligner Treatment Works in Carswell Marsh
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Carswell Marsh model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.
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 Carswell Marsh are typically every 6–10 weeks. Visits are less frequent than with fixed braces — the clinician confirms progress, issues trays, and adjusts the plan if the teeth aren't tracking as designed.
