A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Plenty of patients across Faulston 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 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.
Pricing tracks case complexity more than brand. In Faulston, expect aligners to sit close to brace pricing; the important comparison is what each quote includes, not the headline figure.

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

Stage 1 — Initial Assessment
In Faulston 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.
