Removable clear aligners are now a mainstream choice for discreet teeth straightening. Among Daw's House patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. 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.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Daw's House?
Most everyday alignment problems are within scope. The exceptions are severe rotations, big bite corrections and skeletal cases, where braces give more predictable control.
