Aligners vs Fixed Braces in Crowhole

The headline advantage over fixed braces is discretion — trays are nearly invisible. Being removable means no dietary restrictions and easier cleaning, but that same removability is the risk: it only works if you wear them.

For complex movements — large rotations, significant overbite correction, extraction cases — fixed braces tend to be more predictable. For mild-to-moderate cases, well-fitted aligners deliver comparable results with more comfort.

How Aligner Treatment Works in Crowhole

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 Crowhole are typically every 7–11 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.
