A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Plenty of patients across Caudle Green choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Caudle Green?
Most everyday alignment problems are within scope. The exceptions are severe rotations, big bite corrections and skeletal cases, where braces give more predictable control.

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