When Aligners Are the Better Fit
Aligners suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing, mild overbite and overjet correction, some crossbites, and motivated patients who'll wear trays 20–22 hours a day. Discreet, disciplined adults and older teens are the classic match.
They struggle with big extrusions or intrusions, large overbite corrections, substantial root movement, extraction cases needing tight space control, and anyone likely to under-wear the trays.
When Braces Are the Stronger Option
Because they work around the clock regardless of the patient, braces are the dependable choice for complex mechanics, extraction control and cases where discipline can't be assumed.
If it's the visibility putting you off braces, ceramic and lingual systems change that calculation — the latter invisible from the front — and are worth raising with Fenchurch Street providers.
