Aligners vs Fixed Braces in Eaton Constantine
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.
Aligners in Eaton Constantine — Local Context
Whether aligners or fixed braces are recommended usually comes down to case complexity rather than personal preference alone.

Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Eaton Constantine?
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.
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 Eaton Constantine. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
