The Clear Aligner Process Explained

Treatment begins with a clinical assessment and usually a digital scan. Planning software maps each stage of tooth movement, and a full series of custom trays is manufactured before treatment starts.

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 Faceby are typically every 8–11 weeks. Visits are less frequent than with fixed braces — the clinician confirms progress, issues trays, and adjusts the plan if the teeth aren't tracking as designed.

Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Faceby?

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.

The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Faceby. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.

Which is better — aligners or braces in Faceby?

Which option is more appropriate depends primarily on the tooth movements your case needs. In Faceby, 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.
