Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces. In Keld Houses, they appeal most to professionals and adults who prefer a treatment few people will notice. 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.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Keld Houses?
Most everyday alignment problems are within scope. The exceptions are severe rotations, big bite corrections and skeletal cases, where braces give more predictable control.
Good gum health is a prerequisite, and consistent wear is essential — patients who can't commit to 20–22 hours a day are usually steered towards fixed braces instead.
The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Keld Houses. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
