Discreet Teeth Straightening in Clint Green

For patients who prioritise discretion, clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces. Among Clint Green patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. You wear the set in order, each one nudging the teeth a fraction closer to the planned result. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.
