Invisible Aligners Available in Friskney Eaudyke

Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces.

How Aligner Treatment Works in Friskney Eaudyke

It starts with a scan or impressions. The clinician designs every stage of movement in software — you can often preview a simulation of the finished result — then the whole tray series is made at once.

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 Friskney Eaudyke are typically every 7–12 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.
