Invisible Aligners Available in Cwmorgan

A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. In Cwmorgan, they appeal most to professionals and adults who prefer a treatment few people will notice. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.

The Clear Aligner Process Explained

A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Cwmorgan model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.

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 Cwmorgan are typically every 6–12 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.
