How Do Aligners Compare to Braces?

Aligners win on aesthetics and convenience; braces win on being hands-off. Fixed appliances work continuously without relying on you remembering to put anything back in.

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.

Stage 1 — Initial Assessment

In Enborne the first move is an assessment, remote or in person — photos give an early read on suitability before you spend anything, while an in-person exam adds X-rays, a bite and gum check and a scan, settling both whether aligners fit and how complex the case is.

Orthodontic Treatment for Adults in Enborne

Adult patients in Enborne increasingly choose treatment later in life. Clear aligners, ceramic and lingual systems let most adults treat their teeth without anyone noticing. A photo assessment is an easy way to see which adult option suits your case.

Why Adults Need a Gum Check First

Adults are more likely than teenagers to carry some history of gum disease or recession, so a gum-health assessment — and treatment of any active disease — comes before orthodontics. Moving teeth through unhealthy bone can worsen problems and cause bone loss, which is why most Enborne orthodontists require a recent check confirming gum health first.
