Invisible Aligners Available in Lower Feltham

Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces. Among Lower Feltham 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. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.

How Aligner Treatment Works in Lower Feltham

A good outcome rests on three things: a sound digital plan, precisely made trays, and consistent wear. Orthodontists in Lower Feltham 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 Lower Feltham are typically every 8–12 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.
