For patients who prioritise discretion, clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces. They are especially popular with adults and older teenagers in Greets Green who don't want visible metal. You wear the set in order, each one nudging the teeth a fraction closer to the planned result. For straightforward to moderately complex cases, results can match fixed braces.
Aligners or Braces in Greets Green?
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.

Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Greets Green?
Clear aligners handle a broad range of mild to moderate issues — crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite and underbite. Complex skeletal problems or severely rotated teeth may be better suited to fixed braces.
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 Greets Green. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
