Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Grazeley?
Most everyday alignment problems are within scope. The exceptions are severe rotations, big bite corrections and skeletal cases, where braces give more predictable control.
Aligners are also unsuitable with untreated gum disease, significant missing teeth without a plan, or where daily wear is likely to be inconsistent. Teenagers who may struggle with wear hours can do better in braces.
The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Grazeley. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
