Invisible Aligners Available in Kellas

A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Plenty of patients across Kellas choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. A digital treatment plan maps every stage, and you step through the trays in sequence over the course. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.

How Aligner Treatment Works in Kellas

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.

The trays must be in for 20–22 hours daily. Patients who hit that target finish on schedule; those who don't often need refinements to complete movements the main course missed.

Review appointments in Kellas are typically every 6–11 weeks. At each visit the clinician checks progress and hands over the next trays; some practices add app-based remote monitoring to cut in-person visits.

Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Kellas?

Clear aligners handle a broad range of mild to moderate issues — crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite and underbite. Complex skeletal problems or severely rotated teeth may be better suited to fixed braces.

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 Kellas. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
