Removable clear aligners are now a mainstream choice for discreet teeth straightening. Among Corrigall patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. A digital treatment plan maps every stage, and you step through the trays in sequence over the course. They suit mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite issues particularly well.
The Clear Aligner Process Explained
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Corrigall model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.
The trays must be in for 20–22 hours daily. Patients who hit that target finish on schedule; those who don't often need refinements to complete movements the main course missed.
Review appointments in Corrigall are typically every 6–10 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.
Aligners vs Fixed Braces in Corrigall
Aligners win on aesthetics and convenience; braces win on being hands-off. Fixed appliances work continuously without relying on you remembering to put anything back in.
