A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. They are especially popular with adults and older teenagers in Dundridge who don't want visible metal. You wear the set in order, each one nudging the teeth a fraction closer to the planned result. They suit mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite issues particularly well.
How Aligner Treatment Works in Dundridge
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 Dundridge are typically every 8–11 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.

Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Dundridge?

They don't suit mouths with active gum disease or unmanaged missing teeth, and compliance is the deciding factor for many teenage cases.
The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Dundridge. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
