Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces. Among Isle of Canna 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. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.
