Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Earsham Street?
Clear aligners handle a broad range of mild to moderate issues — crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite and underbite. Complex skeletal problems or severely rotated teeth may be better suited to fixed braces.
They don't suit mouths with active gum disease or unmanaged missing teeth, and compliance is the deciding factor for many teenage cases.

Living With Each Option in Earsham Street
Take an aligner out and there's nothing you can't eat — that alone removes the biggest daily friction fixed braces create. Cleaning is easier too, since a tray comes off before brushing and flossing rather than working around brackets and wires. The trade-off is discipline: trays only work if they go back in promptly and stay in for the hours the plan needs.
