A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Among Leavesden Green patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. 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
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Leavesden Green model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.
Aligners are worn 20–22 hours a day, out only for eating, drinking anything but water, and brushing. Compliance is everything — falling short slows treatment and can stop the trays fitting.
Review appointments in Leavesden Green are typically every 6–12 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?
The headline advantage over fixed braces is discretion — trays are nearly invisible. Being removable means no dietary restrictions and easier cleaning, but that same removability is the risk: it only works if you wear them.
Pricing tracks case complexity more than brand. In Leavesden Green, expect aligners to sit close to brace pricing; the important comparison is what each quote includes, not the headline figure.
