Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces. In Ganton, they appeal most to professionals and adults who prefer a treatment few people will notice. The trays are made in advance from a 3D plan, and you progress through them a fortnight at a time. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.
The Clear Aligner Process Explained
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 Ganton are typically every 6–11 weeks. At each visit the clinician checks progress and hands over the next trays; some practices add app-based remote monitoring to cut in-person visits.
Aligners vs Fixed Braces in Ganton
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 Ganton, expect aligners to sit close to brace pricing; the important comparison is what each quote includes, not the headline figure.

Stage 1 — Initial Assessment
The journey in Ganton usually opens with an assessment — a photo-based remote review or an in-person exam.

This stage decides whether aligners are appropriate and how complex the case is.
