Clear Aligners in Gotham

Aligners or Braces in Gotham?

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.

How Aligner Treatment Works in Gotham

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 Gotham are typically every 8–11 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.
