Removable clear aligners are now a mainstream choice for discreet teeth straightening. They are especially popular with adults and older teenagers in Diglis who don't want visible metal. The trays are made in advance from a 3D plan, and you progress through them a fortnight at a time. For straightforward to moderately complex cases, results can match fixed braces.
How Aligner Treatment Works in Diglis
It starts with a scan or impressions. The clinician designs every stage of movement in software — you can often preview a simulation of the finished result — then the whole tray series is made at once.
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 Diglis are typically every 8–11 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.
Aligners vs Fixed Braces in Diglis
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.
Pricing tracks case complexity more than brand. In Diglis, expect aligners to sit close to brace pricing; the important comparison is what each quote includes, not the headline figure.
Aligners in Diglis — Local Context
Straightforward crowding or spacing cases often suit aligners; more involved bite corrections are more often treated with fixed braces.

This stage decides whether aligners are appropriate and how complex the case is.
