Clear Aligners in High Kilmory

A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Plenty of patients across High Kilmory choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes.

Aligners or Braces in High Kilmory?

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.
