A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Among Llandyry patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. Each tray is worn for one to two weeks before you move to the next in the series, following a digital plan. For straightforward to moderately complex cases, results can match fixed braces.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Llandyry?
Most everyday alignment problems are within scope. The exceptions are severe rotations, big bite corrections and skeletal cases, where braces give more predictable control.
Aligners are also unsuitable with untreated gum disease, significant missing teeth without a plan, or where daily wear is likely to be inconsistent. Teenagers who may struggle with wear hours can do better in braces.
The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Llandyry. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
The Clear Aligner Process Explained
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Llandyry model each tooth's path stage by stage before a single tray is produced.
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 Llandyry are typically every 8–10 weeks. At each visit the clinician checks progress and hands over the next trays; some practices add app-based remote monitoring to cut in-person visits.
