A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Among Delfour patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. You wear the set in order, each one nudging the teeth a fraction closer to the planned result. For straightforward to moderately complex cases, results can match fixed braces.

Aligners vs Fixed Braces in Delfour
Both can produce excellent results when matched to the case. Aligners suit disciplined patients who value discretion; braces suit those who'd rather the appliance do the work automatically.
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.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Delfour?
Most everyday alignment problems are within scope. The exceptions are severe rotations, big bite corrections and skeletal cases, where braces give more predictable control.
Good gum health is a prerequisite, and consistent wear is essential — patients who can't commit to 20–22 hours a day are usually steered towards fixed braces instead.
The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Delfour. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
How clear aligners work in Delfour
Clear aligner treatment follows a structured sequence from first assessment to long-term retention. It helps patients in Delfour compare providers, set realistic expectations, and avoid surprises. Below, we walk through every phase from first scan to final retainer check.
Stage 1 — Initial Assessment
The journey in Delfour usually opens with an assessment — a photo-based remote review or an in-person exam. Remotely, you get an early read on suitability and complexity before paying for anything; in person, the clinician takes X-rays, checks bite, jaw and gums, and scans or photographs your teeth. This stage decides whether aligners are appropriate and how complex the case is.
Comparing aligners and fixed braces in Delfour
Which option is more appropriate depends primarily on the tooth movements your case needs. In Delfour, discretion and convenience favour aligners; complex mechanics favour braces. The comparison that follows covers who each option suits and why.
