For patients who prioritise discretion, clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces. They are especially popular with adults and older teenagers in Horringford who don't want visible metal. The trays are made in advance from a 3D plan, and you progress through them a fortnight at a time. They suit mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite issues particularly well.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Horringford?
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 Horringford. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
