Aligners or Braces in Castell?

The headline advantage over fixed braces is discretion — trays are nearly invisible. Being removable means no dietary restrictions and easier cleaning, but that same removability is the risk: it only works if you wear them.

Pricing tracks case complexity more than brand. In Castell, expect aligners to sit close to brace pricing; the important comparison is what each quote includes, not the headline figure.

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 Castell are typically every 6–11 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.

The aligner journey is more predictable once you know the stages it moves through. In Castell, it's the difference between choosing on price and choosing on value. Below, we walk through every phase from first scan to final retainer check.

Stage 1 — Initial Assessment

Teeth Straightening for Adults in Castell

A significant proportion of orthodontic patients in Castell are adults. There is no upper age limit, and modern options are more discreet and comfortable than ever. A photo assessment is an easy way to see which adult option suits your case.

Why Adults Need a Gum Check First

Adults are more likely than teenagers to carry some history of gum disease or recession, so a gum-health assessment — and treatment of any active disease — comes before orthodontics. Moving teeth through unhealthy bone can worsen problems and cause bone loss, which is why most Castell orthodontists require a recent check confirming gum health first.
