A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Plenty of patients across Dunhampton choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. A digital treatment plan maps every stage, and you step through the trays in sequence over the course. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.
How Do Aligners Compare to Braces?
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 Dunhampton, expect aligners to sit close to brace pricing; the important comparison is what each quote includes, not the headline figure.
