A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. In Hoobrook, they appeal most to professionals and adults who prefer a treatment few people will notice. The trays are made in advance from a 3D plan, and you progress through them a fortnight at a time. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.

The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Hoobrook. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
