Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Chaddesley Corbett?

They work well for mild-to-moderate crowding, spacing and bite correction. Cases needing large vertical movements or with significant skeletal discrepancy usually do better with fixed appliances.

Aligners are also unsuitable with untreated gum disease, significant missing teeth without a plan, or where daily wear is likely to be inconsistent. Teenagers who may struggle with wear hours can do better in braces.

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

How Do Aligners Compare to Braces?
