A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Plenty of patients across Llangelynin 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. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.
Aligners vs Fixed Braces in Llangelynin
Aligners win on aesthetics and convenience; braces win on being hands-off. Fixed appliances work continuously without relying on you remembering to put anything back in.

Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Llangelynin?
