Discreet Teeth Straightening in Hyde

A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Among Hyde patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. They suit mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite issues particularly well.

How Aligner Treatment Works in Hyde

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.

Aligners are worn 20–22 hours a day, out only for eating, drinking anything but water, and brushing. Compliance is everything — falling short slows treatment and can stop the trays fitting.

Review appointments in Hyde are typically every 8–10 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.
