Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Lady Margaret?
Most everyday alignment problems are within scope. The exceptions are severe rotations, big bite corrections and skeletal cases, where braces give more predictable control.
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 Lady Margaret. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
