For patients who prioritise discretion, clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces. Plenty of patients across Kings Hill choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.
