Invisible Aligners Available in Llanover

Removable clear aligners are now a mainstream choice for discreet teeth straightening. Plenty of patients across Llanover 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. Suitability spans everything from light crowding to moderate bite correction.

Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Llanover?

Clear aligners handle a broad range of mild to moderate issues — crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite and underbite. Complex skeletal problems or severely rotated teeth may be better suited to fixed braces.

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 Llanover. 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

Treatment begins with a clinical assessment and usually a digital scan. Planning software maps each stage of tooth movement, and a full series of custom trays is manufactured before treatment starts.

The trays must be in for 20–22 hours daily. Patients who hit that target finish on schedule; those who don't often need refinements to complete movements the main course missed.

Review appointments in Llanover 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.

Teeth Straightening for Adults in Llanover

It is never too late to straighten your teeth. Adults have the same clinical options as teenagers, with the advantage of being motivated, compliant patients. A gum-health check, realistic expectations and the right treatment choice are what determine success.

Why Adults Need a Gum Check First

Adults are more likely than teenagers to carry some history of gum disease or recession, so a gum-health assessment — and treatment of any active disease — comes before orthodontics. Moving teeth through unhealthy bone can worsen problems and cause bone loss, which is why most Llanover orthodontists require a recent check confirming gum health first.
