Clear Aligners in Fallings Park

A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Plenty of patients across Fallings Park choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. You wear the set in order, each one nudging the teeth a fraction closer to the planned result. For straightforward to moderately complex cases, results can match fixed braces.

How Aligner Treatment Works in Fallings Park

A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Fallings Park model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.

Wear time matters above all else: 20–22 hours per day. Attachments — small tooth-coloured bumps bonded to certain teeth — help the trays grip for trickier movements like rotations.

Review appointments in Fallings Park are typically every 7–10 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.
