Invisible Aligners Available in Haydon Wick

A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Among Haydon Wick patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. The trays are made in advance from a 3D plan, and you progress through them a fortnight at a time. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.

How Clear Aligners Work

A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Haydon Wick model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.

Wear time matters above all else: 20–22 hours per day. Attachments — small tooth-coloured bumps bonded to certain teeth — help the trays grip for trickier movements like rotations.

Review appointments in Haydon Wick are typically every 6–11 weeks. Visits are less frequent than with fixed braces — the clinician confirms progress, issues trays, and adjusts the plan if the teeth aren't tracking as designed.
