A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Plenty of patients across Grantshouse choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. You wear the set in order, each one nudging the teeth a fraction closer to the planned result. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.
How Aligner Treatment Works in Grantshouse
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Grantshouse model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.
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 Grantshouse are typically every 7–12 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.
