Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Greenfaulds?
They work well for mild-to-moderate crowding, spacing and bite correction. Cases needing large vertical movements or with significant skeletal discrepancy usually do better with fixed appliances.
They don't suit mouths with active gum disease or unmanaged missing teeth, and compliance is the deciding factor for many teenage cases.
The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Greenfaulds. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
Aligners or Braces in Greenfaulds?

On cost, aligners in Greenfaulds are usually similar to or slightly above fixed braces for equivalent complexity. Simple cases may use budget systems; complex full-arch cases cost more. Always confirm retainers and refinements are in the fee.
What to expect from aligner treatment in Greenfaulds

Aligner Treatment Timeline in Greenfaulds
Whether aligners or fixed braces are recommended usually comes down to case complexity rather than personal preference alone.

A photo assessment is a practical first step to get an early indication of suitability, likely treatment duration, and case complexity before attending any in-person consultation.
