A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. In Lower Bordean, they appeal most to professionals and adults who prefer a treatment few people will notice. 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.
How Aligner Treatment Works in Lower Bordean
A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Lower Bordean 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 Lower Bordean are typically every 8–11 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Lower Bordean?
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 Lower Bordean. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
