Removable clear aligners are now a mainstream choice for discreet teeth straightening. Plenty of patients across Fitling choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. They suit mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite issues particularly well.
Aligners vs Fixed Braces in Fitling
Both can produce excellent results when matched to the case. Aligners suit disciplined patients who value discretion; braces suit those who'd rather the appliance do the work automatically.
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.
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.
The trays must be in for 20–22 hours daily. Patients who hit that target finish on schedule; those who don't often need refinements to complete movements the main course missed.
Review appointments in Fitling are typically every 6–11 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.
