Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces. Plenty of patients across Keynor Estate choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. The trays are made in advance from a 3D plan, and you progress through them a fortnight at a time. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.
The Clear Aligner Process Explained
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.
Wear time matters above all else: 20–22 hours per day. Attachments — small tooth-coloured bumps bonded to certain teeth — help the trays grip for trickier movements like rotations.
Review appointments in Keynor Estate are typically every 8–10 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.

How Do Aligners Compare to Braces?
Aligners win on aesthetics and convenience; braces win on being hands-off. Fixed appliances work continuously without relying on you remembering to put anything back in.

Cases Where Aligners Shine
Aligners suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing, mild overbite and overjet correction, some crossbites, and motivated patients who'll wear trays 20–22 hours a day. Discreet, disciplined adults and older teens are the classic match.
