Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Eaton Leys?
Most everyday alignment problems are within scope. The exceptions are severe rotations, big bite corrections and skeletal cases, where braces give more predictable control.
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 Leys. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
How Clear Aligners Work
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 Eaton Leys are typically every 7–11 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.
Clear aligners vs braces in Eaton Leys
Which option is more appropriate depends primarily on the tooth movements your case needs. In Eaton Leys, discretion and convenience favour aligners; complex mechanics favour braces. A photo assessment is a quick way to see which direction your case is likely to go.
