Discreet Teeth Straightening in Cowbeech

A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Among Cowbeech 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.

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 Cowbeech are typically every 8–12 weeks. Visits are less frequent than with fixed braces — the clinician confirms progress, issues trays, and adjusts the plan if the teeth aren't tracking as designed.
