Discreet Teeth Straightening in Marston Meysey

Clear aligners have become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth without the look of fixed braces. Plenty of patients across Marston Meysey choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. A digital treatment plan maps every stage, and you step through the trays in sequence over the course. They suit mild to moderate crowding, spacing and bite issues particularly well.

How Clear Aligners Work

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.

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 Marston Meysey are typically every 7–12 weeks. Each appointment reviews how the teeth are tracking and issues the next batch, with remote monitoring offered by some providers between visits.
