For patients who prioritise discretion, clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces. Plenty of patients across King Row 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. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.

Both can produce excellent results when matched to the case. Aligners suit disciplined patients who value discretion; braces suit those who'd rather the appliance do the work automatically.
