Discreet Teeth Straightening in Curteis' Corner

Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces.

How Aligner Treatment Works in Curteis' Corner

Wear time matters above all else: 20–22 hours per day. Attachments — small tooth-coloured bumps bonded to certain teeth — help the trays grip for trickier movements like rotations.

Review appointments in Curteis' Corner 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.
