How Clear Aligners Work
Treatment begins with a clinical assessment and usually a digital scan. Planning software maps each stage of tooth movement, and a full series of custom trays is manufactured before treatment starts.
The trays must be in for 20–22 hours daily. Patients who hit that target finish on schedule; those who don't often need refinements to complete movements the main course missed.
Review appointments in Hollybed Street are typically every 7–10 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.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Hollybed Street?
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 Hollybed Street. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
Which is better — aligners or braces in Hollybed Street?
This is often framed as a lifestyle choice, but clinical suitability is the more important factor. The best choice in Hollybed Street is the one your clinical assessment supports, not the one that sounds nicer. A photo assessment is a quick way to see which direction your case is likely to go.
